Growing and Care

• Support: Provide trellises, stakes, or wire supports for trailing blackberry varieties to promote upward growth and easy harvesting.
• Pruning: Prune blackberry canes after fruiting to remove old canes and encourage new growth for next year's crop.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around plants to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and provide insulation to roots.
• Fertilization: Feed blackberry plants with a balanced fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer to support growth and fruit production.

Harvesting

• Timing: Harvest blackberries when they are fully ripe, plump, and easily detach from the plant with a gentle tug.
• Frequency: Blackberries ripen over several weeks, so check plants regularly for ripe berries and harvest every few days.
• Storage: Store harvested blackberries in the refrigerator and consume within a few days for the best flavor and texture.
