Blackberry Plants Buyer's Guide

Experience the incomparable flavor of homegrown blackberries picked fresh from your garden. Our wide selection of blackberry plants includes thornless, primocane, and erect blackberry varieties, so you can choose the best fit for your space and growing conditions.

Choosing the Right Blackberry Variety

  • Thornless Blackberries – Enjoy easy, pain-free harvesting with blackberry bushes that grow without thorns.
  • Primocane Blackberries – These varieties bear fruit on both first-year and previous-year canes, giving you a longer harvest season.
  • Erect Blackberries – Naturally upright-growing blackberry bushes that typically do not require trellising for support.

All of our high-yield blackberry plants produce large, glossy, and firm berries with the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. These versatile berries are excellent for fresh eating, freezing, baking, juice, jam, cobblers, or even homemade blackberry wine.

Blackberry Growing Considerations

Zone Compatibility

Your climate plays a crucial role in whether a blackberry plant will thrive and produce fruit. Before purchasing, confirm that your USDA hardiness zone aligns with the recommended range for the variety you choose.

Pollination & Fruit Production

While blackberry plants are self-pollinating, planting multiple varieties together can significantly boost fruit production and enhance overall yield.

Trellising & Support

  • Erect blackberry plants generally stand on their own.
  • Trailing and semi-erect blackberries benefit from a sturdy blackberry trellis to support heavy fruit loads.
  • Check out our Blackberry Trellis Guide to learn the best methods for trellising blackberries.

Blackberry Plant Care & Maintenance

For optimal growth and fruit production, proper pruning, fertilizing, and disease prevention are essential:

  • Pruning Blackberry Plants: Regular summer blackberry pruning helps control growth, increase airflow, and improve fruit quality. Learn more in our Blackberry Pruning Guide.
  • Fertilizing Blackberries: Use the right blackberry plant fertilizer to encourage healthy canes and high yields. Shop our Blackberry Fertilizer for expert-recommended nutrition.
