Please do this for the rest evasive blackberry loving fruit fly introduced around 2008.
Last batch of boysenberries I got from a farmers market were teeming with fruit fly maggots. If you want to check yours, put them in a bowl of very salty water. It makes the maggots craw out.
Before 2008ish this issue didn’t exist. Now it’s ruined berries and caused huge economic damages.
Please please don’t order plants online from Amazon or other sellers unless you’re extremely confident they’re properly licensed. Otherwise you, yes you personally, could be why a billion dollar economic loss is incurred and fruit or something is ruined for everyone.
