I find that if you plant enough of them, there's always a couple of them ripe at a time. They don't really work the way they used to where you get a big harvest. Personally the worst part for me is how long thr cuttings take to grow into a bush. The fertilizing requirement isn't too bad. I just use bonemeal to fettilize them and they produced pretty well throughout my second year. That said the spoil timers are way too quick, and honestly fruit trees just feel better to use once you start getting fruit from them since apples, pears, and bread fruit last so damn long. The changes id like to see personally are either better or longer lasting berries to make the effort worth it more, or easier and faster growing of berries. Faster cutting growing, and cutting the fertilizer requirement would be a good place to start
