Hey,
I am searching seeds of Rubus chamaemorus. This plant is very rare in now in the wild. I have a piece of land and I want to try this plant. Maybe it can establish here. Does someone have some plants and can collect seeds ?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
ConiferFan

I hope someone can help you, ConiferFan. It would be exciting for you to establish a colony.

Hi,
If you have no luck with a personal offer of seed and want to go the commercial route, 2011 harvest of (wild collected) Rubus chamaemorus seed has just been packaged. See my web site at gardensnorth.com
Hopefully you have a boggy area on your land!!!

Hey,
Thanks, very nice photos !
There are some nurseries that have this plant for sale but seeds are cheaper because I do not want only two or three..
I have looked at gardensnoth.com but there is only Rubus parviflorus listed ?

I have a separate link on the website for edible wild berries--- you will find the Rubus chamaemorus under "Wild Berries" or use the search feature, under "genus" for all the rubus species. It is there for sure.

I can confirm that you will findthe seeds on Gardens North site... you will also find a link to this useful paper on the germination of Cloudberry seeds... http://pubs.aic.ca/doi/pdf/10.4141/cjps79-010 from the Canadian Journal of Plant Science.

@Göte: I live in Austria but the place where I want plant them out is located in Poland.
Maggi Young and Kristl Walek: Thank you very much I have found it !

Plenty of R. chamaemorus around here in North Norway, but too late to collect seeds. I have frozen berries, and I wonder if the seeds in them will still be viable. I could dig up some plants and send to you if you like. But I dont know if they are easy to transplant. Be aware though that you need both male and female plants to get berries. And the plants are impossible to tell apart when they are not flowering.

I could probably also send you some plants but with the same problem as Magnar. I doubt that they are very difficult to transplant if the location is right but I have never tried

Hello to all,
I am new o this forum. And actually join just because on my hunt on these couldberries and this old threat.
I am from Slovakia (middle Europe) and these berries are not native to my region and also none nursery around have plants or seeds. I really would like to grow these berries and add it to my collection, so I would like to ask those forum members that have access to some plants if they will be able to send them to me? I would like just few or I would be happy just for one male/female. Of course I would like to pay all the costs connected with packaging and posting.
I have tried several times sowing seeds bought online from amazon or ebay but they have never germinated even with help of GA3.
thank you for any help

Welcome to the forum, Daniel!
Good luck in your search.

Thank you Maggi.

Daniel,
I sowed last autumn seeds from fresh berries of Rubus chamaemorus, I think all germinated. If you can get hold of berries, so sow them directly. Then you get many plants.
I think it's too late this year to collect berries where I live, they are probably over.

Thats the problem, I have no access to fresh berries maximum I can obtain is jam. As I already wrote I order some seeds online (2-3 different sellers), but probably they havent been viable. So I am looking directly for plants or "fresh" seeds.
It is looks like I should find this forum little ealier to catch this years harvest.. :/
P.S. if you have some plants you can share and be willing to send them, I will be happy to pay you as well for the plants not just the costs.
-
Daniel, I can probably get hold of fresh seed later this fall if you still are interested. I am going away next week but will be back 1 September. The berries are still fine in the more elevated areas.

Hoy,
Yes I am still interested in anything plants/fresh seeds so that will be awesome! I am very thankful for your kindness.
Just wondering how long does they take to fruit from seed? or they start bear in their first year?
thank you

Daniel, I have never tried R chamaemorus from seed but I believe the seedlings need at least 3 years to flower. The species is dioecious so you need several plants to be sure!
I''ll try to send you some rhizomes from male and female plants - if I find them! But you'll have to wait a couple of weeks.

Hi Krisztian,
No problem sending some to you too. No need for paying anything, but like Daniel you have to wait a couple of weeks as I am not at home at the moment.
