Planting, Growing, and Harvesting Blackberries
ADVERTISEMENT
How do I determine if my blackberry plant is trailing or erect? Primocane-fruiting or semi-erect? I got it as a gift last year. It is doing well with berries and has a really tall cane.
i have several wild bushes in a flower bed. does any one know if these can sucessfully be dug up and potted foir resale? I would like to share these delish berries with fewer being seen.
I have 4 lovely, strong, healthy looking upright thornless blackberry bushes and for the past two years they flower, start blackberries, then turn brown and dry up. The plants are planted in large pots in miracle grow potted soil. Last year they were in the ground, and did the same thing, so I removed them and tried big pots. Help, the plants are BEAUTIFULLY STRONG AND HEALTHY. Just dried up and brown half formed fruit.
Please help. I have a 3 year old blackberry bush/tree which is producing a lot of fruit this year. Mom passed away and I have to move away and I don’t won’t to leave her blackberry tree. Please tell me if I can uproot and transplant into my new moving location which is about 10 hours away. What is the best way to preserve it? What season is best time to move it? I’m looking forward to your answers. Thank you.
Hi Sheryl,
You can absolutely transplant your blackberry bush by your new home. Blackberry bushes grow canes that produce fruit in the second year of life, and then once finished die back. You want to identify the canes that are in their first year of life and not currently producing flowers or fruit. They will be smaller than the fruiting canes, as well as greener. Dig up these first-year canes by the root ball in clumps, place them in a bucket or bin with a little bit of water, and drive them to your new home. Transplant on a cool day, either in the morning or evening for best results. Good luck!
