Well, I did a dumb-dumb. I received a couple plants of black Munger raspberries and a couple Royalty purple raspberries. Unlabeled. And while I thought I had kept them sorted, I accidentally mixed them. They are too young to flower or fruit, so I have no idea who is who.  I'm just looking at leaves and stems trying to discern a difference. And kicking myself.

Are there some leaf or stem characteristics that might help me re-sort? If you have any clues or tips (other than label the damn things), then I'm much obliged.

Douglas, thank you, good points to think on. I do wonder if industry standards for "untreated" include some methods of treatment. From what I've read they don't, but maybe on a massive scale production (as Kevin mentions--local vs non-local) this might be standard. I will keep that in mind. And yes, I'm also tracking wood species. Appreciate the input!

Has anyone tried wood-loving mushroom plugs in their untreated lumber odds and ends?

I will be experimenting with some extra oyster plugs I have, but love to hear from been-there-done-thats.
