Thanks for your question, Erin. According to their website, Bushel and Berry (which has many dwarf berry varieties) are sold in Canada. Here’s their “find a retailer” page on their website. Hopefully you’ll find a retailer near you.

I’m so sorry to hear you had such a disappointing experience. Most fruiting shrubs grown in containers should have their roots insulated for the winter. Hardiness pertains to the plant’s top growth, not its root system. I insulate my pots by sinking them into the vegetable garden or wrapping the outside of the pot with a few layers of bubble wrap. Sometimes I drag the pots into our unheated garage for the winter.

Also we were eating raspberries off the bush and found little grey bugs in them. What are they?

I would much rather have the invasive thorny plants contained and controlled in pots rather than plant in the ground, even if it means the plants don’t reach their fullest potential. The blueberries and strawberries are well behaved and get put in the ground, no problem. If I want their full potential it will have to wait until I have a large property where I can build a cement container into the ground so the canes don’t pop up everywhere they please.
