Blackberry Plants Sprouting

Question

I bought new Blackberry plants this year from Michigan Bulb. How soon should I begin to worry if I don’t see any signs of growth? I planted black raspberry at the same time and they are pushing new growth. Thanks.

Sometimes newly planted plants do not make it through the winter. They are not as well established and do not have the reserves that mature plants do to help them through the cold weather. This article will help you figure out if the plant is still alive and you need to give it more time or if it has died:
