Soil: Prefers fertile, well-draining loam or sandy soil. Dig in some organic matter or compost when planting to improve the soil.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Blackberries prefer moist soils so make sure that they are well watered throughout summer, especially during drier periods. Water once or twice a week, increasing to every other day when hot and dry.
Feeding: This isn't a hungry plant and does not require feeding.
Pruning: Requires pruning in autumn/winter. Blackberries fruit on two-year-old wood. To ensure good crops, preserve the new shoots each year and prune away the canes which have fruited that summer.
Pest & Disease: Bred for excellent disease resistance. Your biggest problem will be local wildlife; use a fruit net to keep birds off.
