Pollination Info

Thornless Blackberry Bush Pollination

Thornless Blackberry Bushs are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Thornless Blackberry Bush will drastically increase the size of your crop.

Planting & Care

Plant your Thornless Blackberry Bush in an area that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Thornless Blackberries prefer full sun but can tolerate shade. Make sure that your Thornless Blackberry Bushes aren't in a low area that could collect standing water. Plant your Thornless Blackberry Bushes about 3 feet apart for a hedge.

Thornless Blackberry Bushes prefer slightly acidic soil but will adapt to your natural soil even if it's sandy or heavy in clay as long as it's well-draining. Keep your soil moist, not over saturated. Thornless Blackberries need at least one inch of water per week.

Early every Spring fertilize your Thornless Blackberries with a well-balanced fertilizer like formula 10-10-10. White flowers will emerge on your Blackberry Bush every Spring. Soon after you'll notice your blackberries growing. They're not ripe until mid-summer when their skin turns from red to a dark purple to black color.

Your Blackberries are ready to be harvested when they easily pull away from their stem. This is when they're ripe and sweet.
