Wild Blackberry Shrubs
This product is rated 5.0 of 5.0 stars.
It has received 6 reviews.
Description
The wild blackberry bush is a perennial that grows the best in hardiness zones 4-10. The tall, arching branches are covered in thorns and grow 3-6 meters tall.
Bloom Season (if any) - Late spring and early summer
Bloom Color - White or pale pink
Height at Maturity - Grows to 3-6 meters tall
Soil Type Preferred - Sandy and acidic soils
Sun or Shade - Requires full sun.
A trellis is recommended to support the branches, which will assist the plant in growing more robust and producing more fruit. The bush branches die back yearly after the summer growing season, and new stems grow to replace them. Pruning the dead branches yearly will give the new growth room to spread and prevent the plant from appearing messy and overgrown.
Wild Blackberry Bush Blooms in Early Summer
Wild blackberry bushes bloom in late spring and early summer. Their white and pale pink petals measure about 2-3 centimeters in diameter.
The plant requires sandy soil that drains well and has an acidic pH value. Soil amendments such as coffee grounds and peat moss can help make the soil more acidic for the wild blackberry bush. It prefers full sun to grow properly and produce the most blackberries.
Blackberry Shrub Care
Mulching around the plants is vital to prevent weed growth and moisten the soil. This bush must receive about an inch of water a week and requires more when temperatures are hotter. Once the plant produces berries, they must be picked as often as every other day to prevent spoiling. To harvest the blackberries, choose them only when they are black and plump, as the berries will not ripen once picked.
