Gardening Secrets: What Blackberries Love

Blackberries are a tasty berry that you can grow yourself in your garden.

Blackberry care

The blackberry loves the sun and really dislikes cold winds, so the places generously lit by the sun near the fence, buildings, etc. will be ideal for it, especially since you will have to shade it for the period of berry ripening, and provide grown bushes and creeping varieties supports.

Pruning is only part of blackberry care in the fall. It is also necessary to properly feed the plant so that it successfully survives the winter. You can use both organic and mineral fertilizers. Compost or rotted manure is suitable as organic top dressing.

Most often, blackberries are cut in the spring, immediately after snow and frost. At the same time, the kidneys should not yet be knocked out. It is also important to prune the bush in the fall. This must be done after harvest.

When do blackberries begin to bear fruit after planting

Blackberry bushes after planting enter the active phase of fruiting the next year, because this plant belongs to the group of cultures of the two-year development cycle. In the first year, the plants actively increase the vegetative green mass, and in the next season they bloom and bear fruit.
