THORNLESS BLACKBERRY CARE :

 

  • SOIL

You can put the new blackberry plant that doesn’t have thorns in sandy loams in early fall or early spring. For best results, plant them in soil that drains well, has a pH level between 6.5 and 7, and has at least 2% compost or other organic matter in it.

 

  • POSITIONING AND TRELLISING

 

Blackberry trees without thorns should be spaced out 5 feet apart so they can get enough air flow, sun, and room to grow. You should trellis the cane to keep the blackberry plants off the ground and save space. This will also make it easy to pick the fruits.

You can also use an existing fence, PVC pipes, or wooden poles to hold up the canes. Long canes may fall to the ground if they are not held up. For the plant’s new shoots to climb the trellis, you can stretch wire between the posts above the ground.

 

  • NOURISHMENT

It’s important to mulch around the base of plants because it keeps the soil wet and keeps weeds from growing. It is best to use about 4 inches of organic stuff as mulch. It helps the woody blackberry root system grow. You can add fertilizer after a year of growth.

 

  • PRUNING

Blackberries without thorns need to be pruned very carefully. During the summer, you can cut off the tips of the new canes to keep the plant’s height between three and four feet.

But longer canes wouldn’t make more berries; they would just make it harder to care for the plants. Cut the old fruiting canes down to the ground when the bearing season is over.

 

 

  • WRAPPING UP

Blackberries have a lot of ellagic acid, which stops chemicals that cause cancer from working. It also has other vitamins that lower cholesterol and lower the risk of heart disease. So why not grow strawberries and eat them?

It takes some time to grow thornless blackberries and take care of the plant, but the results are worth it when you have tasty blackberries.
