I mean there probably are lots of reasons why we farm only certain plants.

For example dewberries have short harvest window and as far as i know they need to be hand picked.

Blackberries are pretty rampant here in the UK. Always wondered why you guys didn't have it- Seems they were banned in the US until recently due to some fungus.

Just to be clear, you mean blackcurrants, yes? Blackberry means something quite different, at least over here.

No I meant blackberries. We have both over here commercially available.

Ok, well I assure you, blackberries are, and never were banned in America. Blackcurrants were.
