Landscape Uses, Planting and Care
- SITE: Choose a sunny to partly shaded site in your garden with good drainage. Blackberries are adaptable to most soil types. Mulch new plantings to keep out weeds until shrubs reach a large enough size to keep weeds down on their own. Dig a hole to a depth level with the soil surface in the plant container or slightly higher. Plants should be spaced 3-4' apart in rows 7-8' apart. Trellising can be beneficial for cane support, but is not required.
- PRUNING: These summer-bearing berries produce fruit on second year canes (floricanes). In the fall of the second year, prune spent canes at ground level and thin others to approximately 4 canes per foot. Cut off suckers growing outside of rows.
