Planting tips for bare root brambles (blackberries & raspberries)
- When choosing a planting location avoid planting blackberries & raspberries where the following crops have been planted: brambles, strawberries, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers.
- Choose a full sun (6-8 hours per day) planting location.
- Amend soil with organic matter and check to be sure that you have adequate drainage.
- Plant in Spring once your soil has warmed. Planting in cool and damp soil can delay development.
- Soak the roots up to 2 hours in water prior to planting.
- Prepare the planting area by digging a 3-4" deep trench.
- Lay the roots horizontally in the trench about 1-1.5" below the soil surface.
- Cover the roots immediately after placing roots in the trench.
- Water planting area.
- Do not fertilize at planting time.
- New growth may take up to 6 weeks to appear.
- Most, if not all, new growth will come from the root of your blackberry plant and not from the cane. The cane may never leaf out.
