Pick a compact, thornless variety like 'Baby Cakes' or 'Navaho' for easy container growing.
2. Pick a Large, Deep Pot
Use a pot at least 18-20 inches deep with drainage holes.
3. Use Well-Draining Soil
Fill the pot with rich, well-draining soil. Blackberries prefer slightly acidic soil, so mix in compost or peat moss.
4. Plant the Blackberry
Plant the root ball at the same depth as in its original pot, leaving room for growth. Water thoroughly.
5. Place in Full Sun
Position the pot where it gets 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
6. Water Regularly
Keep the soil moist, especially in hot weather.
7. Provide Support
Use a trellis or stakes to support the plant as it grows.
8. Feed and Fertilize
Feed with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season.
9. Prune for Yield
After fruiting, prune old canes and leave new ones for next season’s fruit.
10. Harvest
Pick berries when they’re dark purple and soft.
