Flowering Season

From Late Spring TO Mid Summer

Pink/white blossom before the fruit.

 

Planting Outdoors

From Early Winter TO Early Spring

Plant pot grown blackberries in the soil after digging in plenty of well rotted manure or compost into the soil first.

 

Propagation by Hardwood Cuttings

From Early Winter TO Late Winter

Take hardwood cuttings of up to .3m from this years growth, making a clean from above a shoot and remove any soft growth. Nearly fill a container with fine grit at the bottom, to enable free draining, and a suitable compost. Place the cutting, having dipped he end in a rooting compound first, with a third of the cutting showing.

 

Harvesting

From Mid Summer TO Early Autumn

Pick when the fruits are ripe. Lovely in pies and other puddings or for making jam with.
