Blooming Direct has these blackberry plants available! Blackberrys are an a delicious fruit that can be turned into pies of jam! It’s an easy plant to grow and can sit happily in a corner of your garden or take pride of place in your fruit garden! They’re available as thornless plants which makes pruning and looking after them easier. Buying as an established plant in a 3L tub means there’s a good root system already and you get a strong healthy plant. Prepare your ground well, dig over to a good depth and incorporate some well rotted manure or garden compost. Plant the blackberry bush as deep as it was planted in the pot. Firm in and water well.
The canes are biennial! They’re easy to grow and only take a little attention when it comes to pruning. New canes grow one season and fruit the next year, after which they are exhausted and can be removed by cutting them off at ground level. If it’s fruited this year then cut it off when it’s finished fruiting!
They will do best in full sun where the fruit will ripen well. Pick when ripe and either use straight away or freeze!
They don’t take up a huge amount of room and will provide lots of delicious fruit. Blackberry jam is lovely and can be used with apple for making the best pies in the world!
Blackberries are a great addition to your fruit garden as the fruits are expensive to buy in the supermarkets. They are packed with vitamin C.
Fertilise in spring when new growth starts to show. Use manure as a mulch in autumn and keep the area weed free.
The bare root plants are delivered from February to April and need the soil ready to plant in when they arrive unless it’s snowy or frosty of course. They are cheaper to buy like this too, offering great value for money.
