The Basics for Growing Erect Variety Blackberries: Prolific, Delicious, & Great for Containers

I highly recommend growing blackberries in your vegetable and flower gardens. I go over all the basics for getting them into your garden. Planting is easy. Fertilize 1x a year with compost or a top dressing. Mulch them and provide basic care for 10-15 years of blackberry production. They do spread but can be easily dug back. Check variety type for vertical growth.

    1. Dont add anything that will raise it like lime but my 50’50 mix is peat passed. They do well in a range of pH but like it more acidic.

  2. Blackberries take me back to when I was a little boy following my grandfather around through the briars picking wild blackberries in Pa. I’m finally going to plant them in my backyard this spring. I’m going with Prime Ark Freedom and Ponca. I’m hoping to make some good memories with my grandchildren, minus the thorns and scratches. 😊
    Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

    1. Thats a great memory. Definitely build the with the grandkids.

  4. Quick question. Not knowing what I had, I took a weed eater to a ton of black berries. Will they grow back or did I mess up? There’s still some left but I cut almost an acre of this stuff, and now I’m a little upsetti spaghetti about it.

    1. Well you knocked back this years canes for fruit but the roots will send up new stuff and it will recover for next year.

  6. Thank you for the video!! I have no experience in gardening and found a blackberry plant at Harris Teeter. I live in an apartment and don’t have a ground to transfer my plant from Its pot (i just have a patio). Now the branches are growing suuuper tall and idk what to do with this plant 😭. Any suggestions on how I can take care of it if I can’t pop it into the ground?

    1. A 20 gallon pot can support it. I sell fabric pots that size. Just keep it fed and watered and it should do well.
