To support healthy blackberry growth:

Blackberry plants grow new canes each spring, which live for two years—growing in the first year and fruiting in the second before dying back.
Pruning the old canes annually is crucial to keep the plant healthy.

A simple support system helps the plant grow upwards, ensuring good light and air circulation. This also keeps side branches secure, preventing damage during fruit harvesting.

Efficient Pollination

Elevate your blackberry yields by utilizing a combination of honey bees and bumblebees. This strategy capitalizes on the unique advantages offered by both bee types.

For optimal plant growth in coco coir substrates:

Balanced Fertilization: Start with a 1:1:1 fertilizer throughout the growth phase.
Transition to High Potassium:After establishing the plants, shift to a fertilizer high in potassium with lower nitrogen and phosphorus levels.
Micronutrient Integration: Ensure essential micronutrients are included in your fertilizer solution to support plant health in coco coir.
