PLANTING, GROWING, AND HARVESTING BLACKBERRIES
PLANTING
WHEN TO PLANT BLACKBERRIES
– Plant when the canes are dormant, preferably in early spring. Planting may also be done in late fall, however, it should be delayed until early spring in very cold areas as low temperatures could kill some hybrid varieties.
– Blackberries and their hybrids are all self-fertile, so multiple plants are not needed for fruit production.
HOW TO PLANT BLACKBERRIES
– For semi-erect cultivars, space plants 5 to 6 feet apart. Space erect cultivars 3 feet apart. Space trailing varieties 5 to 8 feet apart. Space rows about 8 feet apart.
– Plant shallowly: about one inch deeper than they were grown in the nursery.
HOW TO CARE FOR BLACKBERRIES
– Mulching is important throughout the season to conserve moisture and suffocate weeds. Keep a thick layer of mulch surrounding plants at all times.
– Blackberries require plenty of moisture, especially when growing and ripening. Ensure plants receive one inch of water per week and more in hot temperatures.
– Blackberries benefit from fertilizing in early spring with an all-purpose fertilizer such as 10-10-10, or a 16-16-8.
HOW TO HARVEST BLACKBERRIES
– Pick only berries that are fully black. Mature berries are plump yet firm, a deep black color, and pull freely from the plant without a yank. Berries do no ripen after being picked.
– Once blackberries start to ripen, they must be picked often—every couple of days.
– When picking, keep the central plug within the fruit (unlike raspberries).
– Harvest during the cooler parts of the day. Once picked, place berries in the shade and refrigerate as soon as possible
