How to Grow
Plant blackberry bushes in a sunny position in any well drained soil. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the ground prior to planting. When growing blackberry plants, support the stems on a framework of wires stretched between sturdy 1.8m (6') posts, or trained against a trellis or wall.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Water well for the first year until blackberry plants are fully established. Train the stems onto their supports as they grow. Cover the plants with netting to protect the crop from birds as blackberry fruits begin to develop. This variety can be harvested from August onwards. A primocane variety, it fruits on the current years stems. Do not cut down the fruited stems in autumn but wait until March, reducing them down to 15-20cm. In May, top the stems to around 50cm to create more fruiting side shoots. Tie in current years canes to their supports. In spring, while the ground is moist, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the canes to improve moisture retention throughout the summer.
