2018 Field Collections
JKWA was chosen as the focal wild fruit collection location in 2018. Wild blackberries were collected along a trail approximately every 50 m change in elevation at five locations along a single trail [1430-1630 m] (Supp. Table S1). We could only utilize one research station planting in 2018 because the other planting was removed at the end of the 2017 growing season. However, all ripeness stages were assessed for infestation at this location, as available. All other sampling methods remained the same as in the previous year.
