Trailing Blackberry ‘Black Cascade’
Top Tips
This Blackberry fruits on new wood, so prune in February to remove the previous year’s canes to make way for the new season’s growth.
Care Information
Planting your Trailing Blackberry:
Water your potted plant well.
Choose a basket or container at least 35 cm (14 in) in diameter filled with good quality compost such as our own premium professional compost.
Dig a hole a little deeper and 3 x wider than the nursery pot.
Add a soil conditioner such as well-rotted manure to the earth removed from the hole if necessary.
Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
Place your plant in the hole at the same level at the pot.
Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
Firm in the soil, avoiding the root ball.
Aftercare Advice
Feed and water Blackberry bushes regularly throughout the growing season.
Protect the fruit from birds using netting.
