Hi all.

My kids have been wanting various berries and only strawberries seem to be abundant at the supermarket.

At the home center a few weeks ago we found blackberries, raspberries and various blueberries but I have only grown summer vegetables previously on my balcony. After discussing with the family they would prefer fruit over vegetables so I am going to try to grow some berries.

Does anyone have any tips or good guides for this?

I'm in east Tokyo, 8th floor. I have a SSW facing balcony and depending on placement I can avoid afternoon sunlight if required.

I was going to get rabbit eye variety blueberries but I highly doubt pollinators will come this high so I will have to artificially pollinate them unless there is a better way.
