Planting Blackberries:

                   Blackberries are easily grown from one-year old bareroot plants. These need planting when they’re dormant during mid or late winter. Avoid times when the ground is waterlogged or frozen.Most varieties will need some trellising or training in order to support the weight of the plant’s fruit, and you’ll need to plan this at the planting stage. If you’ve chosen an erect blackberry, this can be planted near a fence. If you don’t want to train them you’ll need to prune the tips regularly.For trailing varieties, create a simple two-wire trellis. Use two wooden six-foot (1.8m) fence posts spaced at about 8 to 10 feet (2.5-3m) apart. Use two wires to join the posts running at 2 feet (.6m) and 4 feet (1.2m) from the ground.

Caring for & Pruning Blackberry Plants:

                   Blackberries are biennial and produce fruit on the previous years’ canes; Each spring and summer the plant will grow new canes that will not produce any fruit that season. These are called “primocanes”. The following year, as they continue to flower and fruit they are called “floricanes”. The floricanes will die after fruit production to be replaced by that year’s primocanes next season.As the primocanes grow on trailing varieties, tie them into the wire supports. If you’ve chosen an erect variety, prune the tips so they do not grow higher than four feet (1.2m). This will prevent them from bending and snapping from the weight of the fruit.

                      Blackberries will need regular, weekly watering from mid spring to early fall, especially if rainfall is low. If there is winter drought it is also worth watering your blackberries every few weeks so that existing primocanes aren’t damaged.

Harvesting Blackberries:
        Blackberries are ready for harvest from mid to late summer. They won’t ripen after they’re harvested, so pick your blackberries every three days to get the highest-quality fruit.Unlike raspberries, when you pick your blackberry the central plug will come off too. Pick by hand when they begin to lose their shine and appear slightly dull. They should come off the plant easily.
