Blackberries

Buyers Guide for Blackberries

Blackberry Plants

Allow a width of 8' for the average Blackberry plant. Some newer compact varieties can be planted closer (4') and even in pots and as self supporting. If this sounds more suitable for your requirements look at Waldo or Loch Ness.

In the UK Blackberries can be harvested from late July to late September with careful selection of varieties. 

Blackberry plants are also ideal for training against walls, fences, sheds etc, and will provide a very useful crop on sunless walls where few other fruits will grow. Thornless varieties plant 8' apart, thorny varieties plant 10' apart. Himalayan Giant 15' apart. Blackberry bush varieties such as Waldo can be grown as self supporting abd planted 4' apart.

Blackberry fruits are high in antixoidants and are very versatile. Ideal for eating fresh but also perfect in pies, jams, preserves, for juicing and freezing.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OF OUR BLACKBERRY PLANTS ARE VERY HIGH QUALITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR GOLD HEALTH STANDARD AND GUARANTEE AND NOT JUST ROOTED TIPS! Most are supplied in containers, a few of the thorny varieties may be supplied as bare-root during the dormant season if this suits them best.  DELIVERY OF POT GROWN BLACKBERRY PLANTS WILL COMMENCE SECOND HALF OF JUNE; Please reserve now.
