PAGE 16 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH I. 1978 IN YOUR GARDEN -One may miss a lot of gar dening pleasure if he overlooks small fruits in home land scaping plantings. Even with shrubs, trees, lawn and vegetable gardens all competing for room in the yard, there is still space for small /huts According to James A. Fizzell, horticulturist, University of Illinois Ex tension, the best way to grow small fruits is in plantings by themselves. But if space is limited, then integrate them into present landscape plan. , Several of the small fruits lend themselves nicely to in tegration. But their use in landscaping has not been fully appreciated. Strawberries Of all the small fruits, strawberries are the best landscape subjects. They have shining green leaves throughout the growing season, attractive white flowers, red berries and they add a little fall color. Strawberries are easily tucked into a corner of the flower bed or shrub border, used as a ground cover, or as edging for a flower border or walk. They may also be grown for specimen value in pyramids or barrels, or even grown singly in pots to be placed in selected garden spots. Grapes Grapes are excellent home garden fruits that easily fit into the landscape. The vines grow rapidly to produce an abun dance of attractive dense foliage and fruit that may vary from green to red to dark puple depending upon variety and season. The shredding bark on an old trunk and the bright tan color of previous season's canes also add winter interest. Grapes can cover an un sightly fence or screen, an undesirable view or a standard arbor. One can put grapes on a semi-arbor against an expanse of blank wall, or on a standard trellis as a natural fence or boundary planting. Brambles The brambles (raspberries and blackberries) are more difficult to fit into the average landscape plan. The thorns on many varieties and the suckering (spreading) habit of some species make con finement in the original location difficult. Black raspberries do not sucker. And there are some semi-hardy thornless trailing blackberries now available to overcome the drawback of thorny plants if the thorns are considered a serious problem. Home gardeners who enjoy the bramble fruits will find they can make attractive summer hedges or screens when trained along a fence. Or one can support them by a trellis or a single post in a group of plants. Currants and gooseberries are fine landscape subjects but are rarely planted in Illinois. T^ey deserve the attention of home gardeners who enjoy their fruits because home production is now practically the only way to obtain them. The bushes do not spread beyond their allocated space- growing 3 to 4 feet high and about as wide. They have small, attractive leaves, providing a variation in texture in home landscape, and make excellent conversation pieces when heavily laden with their yellow or red fruit. Because currants and gooseberries are alternate hosts for blister rust, a serious disease of white pine trees, a permit may be needed from the Division of Plant Industry, State Department of Agriculture before planting in some parts of Illinois. Check with them before planting either currants or gooseberries in your area. " Details on variety selection dnd general culture of small fruits are available to Illinois home gardeners in Extenison circular 935, "Growing Small Fruits in the Home Garden."
