Growing Tips
Blackberry brambles grow best in full sun to part sun. They are quite vigourous and require somewhat regular management to be kept from spreading too much. They will happily grow in poor soil where little else will thrive, so location should be thought out before planting. They also have sharp thorns so they can be useful as a living fence.
In late fall, we recommend pruning out the canes that produced fruit this year. You can determine which canes to prune by choosing only the ones that are brown and brittle looking. This ensures better fruit production and helps maintain the brambles.
For the first year after planting, regular watering and an application of compost and wood chip mulch helps the blackberries establish. Enjoy berries for years to come!
