Questions & Answers
How big of a planter pot should I use to take this to maturity? Im looking at one that measures 21.5" diameter and 17" high, will that be big enough ?
Choose a pot as large as 24" to 36" across or even a half whiskey barrel. As blackberries grow, over time each original stem sends up more shoots from the roots to form a patch. With a larger pot, your plant will be able to send up new shoots in the subsequent seasons. More of these canes will result in more fruit.
Is it thornless
Pamela, yes, BabyCakes Blackberries are a thornless, dwarf variety. So you will not deal with blackberry thorns with this particular variety. They were bred to be able to plant in a patio pot or in the ground.
Mine arrived with a brown stem. I cut about a half inch off the end and it is brown all the way through. I scratched the surface of the stem and could not see any green. Does that mean it's dead, or is this normal?
You want to go down to the base of the plant and take a notch out of it there. The tips can often harden up in growth and transport. Look down below towards the bottom where the plant comes out of the soil. Take a small notch there. If it is brown, it is most likely dead (or if it looks like tinder). If you see green, you've just got a dormant plant waking up, and the stem you cut is dead on the end. If the plant is dead, please submit a ticket to us at our website and we can provide you some assistance.
Does this require a pollinator to grow fruit?
No, these are self pollinating male and female
How large is the 33-inch container for the Bushel and Berry BabyCakes blackberry? Why is there no consistency in these descriptions of garden products? It is confusing to see inches, cups, cubic feet, cubic yards, etc.!
This is just the bare root. It does not come with a container. We cannot control other listings but ours explains it is just the bare root. If you look at the images it shows the out of box image of what exactly you will receive. Thanks!
Why does it say full shade under the specification section but full sun under details?
It should be full sun, there was a typing error with our description and we have fixed it. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
