Care
Blackberries require plenty of sunlight in order to produce larger quantities of berries. Make sure to give your blackberry plant room to grow and spread out. If you are planting more than one blackberry plant, plant them at least 4 feet apart. Blackberries prefer well-draining loamy soil. Do not let your blackberry plant sit in water for prolonged periods of time. If you want to plant your blackberry in an area that is prone to flooding, you can create a raised bed.
