Looking to buy Rubus pedatus and Rubus lasiococcus seeds
Hi! I’m looking to buy Rubus pedatus and Rubus lasiococcus seeds for an experimental breeding project involving Arctic raspberry (Rubus arcticus), which I already grow. I’m interested in exploring whether crosses and changes in ploidy could produce new berries with interesting flavours, partly inspired by research into cloudberry’s possible ancestry.
• Rubus pedatus — five-leaved bramble / strawberry-leaf raspberry
• Rubus lasiococcus — roughfruit berry / dwarf bramble
Does anyone grow either species and have spare seeds, or know a nursery or collector who sells them? I’m interested in seeds only, and I’d happily pay for them and cover postage.
Even a small quantity would be appreciated.
Seeds from cultivated plants or collected wild seeds would both interest me.
A photo of the parent plant and the collection date would be helpful.
If you don’t have any now but might have seeds next season, I’d still love to hear from you!
Please comment or message me if you can help. Thanks!
