Growing Information

This blackberry plant grows best in full sun but can tolerate some afternoon shade, especially in warmer climates. It requires moderate watering, about one inch per week, and thrives in slightly acidic soil with good drainage. The floricane growth habit means fruit develops on canes that are in their second year, so pruning and care should accommodate this cycle. The plant ships bare root, allowing for easy planting and establishment in your garden.
