Each plant can have up to five [[#Berry|berries]] at once. In ''Pikmin 2'', some only contain red berries, some only purple berries, and some a mix of the two. In later games, since the ultra-bitter spray does not return, only the red-berry Burgeoning Spiderworts exist.

Burgeoning Spiderworts are taller than they are in previous games, as most Pikmin types can only barely reach the bottom of the berry cluster, and [[Purple Pikmin]] cannot hit the berries at all. The [[lock-on]] system will only target the berries when [[Winged Pikmin]] or [[Yellow Pikmin]] are selected. However, the berries can be weighed down significantly to be more easily hit. Purple Pikmin are considered 10 times heavier for this feature and it takes the weight of around 50 standard Pikmin to weigh the berries down all the way.
There can only be fifty berries in an area at a given time. If a Burgeoning Spiderwort grows some more, older berries will disappear.{{cite youtube|3kwOCmOdqLY|showing how many berries can exist at once|m=10|s=6|published={{date|7|August|2023}}|retrieved={{date|6|October|2023}}}}
 
Rock Pikmin can now only pick one berry at a time when directly thrown at a berry cluster. Due to the way Rock Pikmin attack targets they can latch onto, they will perform a single attack on the berries that either immediately picks a single berry or deals no damage at all at random, then drop from the Spiderwort immediately. Despite the chance of missing, this makes them by far the most efficient berry-pickers, often out-pacing the speed of carrying offered by small squads of [[White Pikmin]] and Winged Pikmin.
 
Berries now act as their own individual objects rather than respawning at the Spiderwort, as when a Pikmin is interrupted while carrying a berry, it will just drop the berry. Like several treasures, the berries have an advanced physics system and can roll around. There can only be 50 berries in an area at a given time. If a Burgeoning Spiderwort grows some more, older berries will disappear.{{cite youtube|3kwOCmOdqLY|showing how many berries can exist at once|m=10|s=6|published={{date|7|August|2023}}|retrieved={{date|6|October|2023}}}}


If [[Oatchi]] rushes a Spiderwort, all its berries are knocked loose at once. Oatchi is otherwise unable to harvest berries, though he can carry them.
