Blackberries

All blackberry and raspberry plants are self-fertile and will have good fruit production on their own. However, if a second variety is planted nearby, then they will have heavier fruit production. Upright blackberry and raspberry plants should be planted 3 to 5 feet apart in full sun. Plant in soil with a pH level of 6.0 to 6.5 with the crown (where the root system begins) no more than 1/2 inch below the ground's surface. Raspberry and blackberry plants generally begin producing fruit in 2 to 3 years.

Typical fruit yields is 2 to 4 quarts per plant.
