Learning Download: How to Grow Blackberries
Blackberries are one of the easiest fruits to grow. Blackberries can grow just about anywhere in the United States as long as they receive enough sun exposure.
Before Planting: Blackberries are self-fertile, so multiple plants will not be needed to produce the fruit.
Planting: Plant the blackberries shallowly. Planting should be done in early spring so cold winter months don’t kill the transplants.
Watering: Blackberries like plenty of water, especially when the berries are ripening. Be sure the blackberry plants receive at least 1 inch of water per week.
Fertilizer: Fertilize blackberries in the early spring with an all-purpose, 10-10-10 or 16-16-8 fertilizer.
Days to Maturity: Blackberries are ready to pick once they are fully black. (See varieties for days to maturity)
Harvesting: Blackberries should be harvested during cooler parts of the day, and they will only last a few days after harvest.
Tips: Blackberries must be pruned.

Our Seed Promise
"Agriculture and seeds" provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.
The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, to genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems, and ultimately to healthy people and communities.
