This bulletin is intended to serve as a complete source of information on brambles. This publication has been written and updated by highly experienced professionals at The Ohio State University who, together, have more than 50 years of cultural and scientific exploration and involvement with brambles. Considerable effort has been put into this publication to make it the most comprehensive bramble bulletin available.
Bramble production in Ohio is an important aspect of the farm retail marketing system, which has been developed over many years to provide healthful products to the public. New plants, cultural practices, and irrigation methods all make for improved management systems. Many educational programs and research field days are available to all persons to help them learn more of the new technology brought to you by Ohio State University Extension in partnership with researchers at Ohio State's Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center.
We dedicate this bulletin to the many growers and industry groups who produce, manage, and market quality fruit for all to enjoy. We acknowledge their efforts and contributions to the Ohio small fruit industry.
