Blackberry Plants
Posted by Main Blog on Friday, April 10th, 2009
Blackberries help the body in fighting free radicals and thus, avoid various types of cancer. All blackberry plants are perennial, with roots living for many years.
Blackberries produce best in full sun, but they can tolerate partial shade. However, plants do not grow or produce well in heavy shade.
It’s best to avoid selecting a site where potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, other caneberries, or strawberries have grown within the past 3 years.
Blackberries are sensitive to wet soils. Therefore, drainage is an important factor to consider when you’re selecting a site. If blackberry plants are in waterlogged soils for more than a few days at a time, they normally die a slow death from lack of aeration (oxygen) or from subsequent attack by root diseases.
