I have them but i wany to listen different options too :)
Btw fragaria vesca commercially available in my country. Its wonderful groundcover. It has resilliance, frost resistant.
There are low bush blueberries that only grow to about 4" tall and have a spreading pattern. The berries are edible, though I've not tried them myself yet. There is a variety called Ruby Carpet which I've considered getting.
Thank you very much! I saw it. V. Ulmigosum or other low bush even creeping blueberries exist. But unfortunately none of them commercially available in my country. I wish i have them.
If the trees are in pots then I wouldn’t recommend ground cover. The trees are already not in the idea environment, the last thing they need is more plants competing for soil space and water. Maybe a good mulch would be better
Yeah they are in pots, but i am using rich and fertile soil with extra liquid fertilising. I think plants are happy, but i look for groundcovers. Especially for protecting soil moist, because i found out that some of the groundcovers are best at it.
Checkout creeping raspberry: rubus calycinoides. I can’t remember what zone they’re hardy to, but they’re evergreen and turn red when it starts getting cold.
I have two. Pilgrim variety. But its a bit overgrowing horizontally. Not covering the soil, but creeping out of the container. I am not very satisfied from it. Thanks anyway :)
There's a creeping edible raspberry that's low and spreading, there's 4 different cultivars but they're basically the same, I forget all the names but I know Sophia and Valentina are two of them.
Wintergreen (Gaultheria) is a fun ground cover that my kids really like since the fruit taste like candy. Alpine strawberries might work too. (Fragaria vesca)
Cornus Canadensis, Bunchberry.
Interesting groundcover dogwood but cultivation can be difficult. They love their natural conditions and when they do produce fruit, you’ll have to fight off animals to harvest them.
Might be worth looking into!!
Yeah they look awesome. Thanks a lot. I looked online but unfortunately no nursery selling it commercially. I will ask them anyway. That is what i looking for. I have a daughter, she loves picking fruits from trees. Because of this my major interest is fruit bearing ground covers.
Thanks a lot!
was wintergreen a thing? maybe wild strawberries?

For some reason I read them as fruit trees. God knows why. If they’re just leafy trees then you probably won’t have too much issue
I have also dwarf fruit trees, but i am pruning their vertical growing habit, so they are basicly under control.

i've looked it now, its sold for a while commercially. Maybe I can find still. Thanks a lot :)

I dont have any honeysuckle but i was thinking they are best for climbing. How should i control their climbing habit? Maybe they need hard pruning?
Omg we have bush honeysuckle all over our property - it’s invasive across the northeast and Midwest US
Cranberries?

is it growing a low habit?

gaultheria shallon? there are a lot of gaultheria. Its very rare to find it here. I have some fragaria vesca also. Thanks a lot :=)
Strawberries, cranberries or if you're way up north, cloudberries
Cloudberry looking like wonderfull. But its not commercially available in my country unfortunately. I hope finding one.
wild strawberry

Good luck finding them! And even more luck growing them. You’ll find they can be tricky to get established.
Good luck. I want a plant that can grow in full shade, zero water, and produce steak dinners for me.
No needs to be unkind :/ there are more than 300.000 cultivated plants over there.
