Blackberry Stuff

Question

I want to raise blackberry plants and would like to end up with enough fruit for my family, and enough to share with a couple friends. I want a sweet berry, with a little tartness, just right for cobblers and pies. How many plants should I buy, and would it be worth spending a few more bucks for 3 year old plants instead of 2 year old? Any help will be appreciated, as I am not the sharpest pencil in the box, when it comes to planting things.

Thanks, Guys,

Answer 1

A single Blackberry bush can produce 10 to 20 pounds of fruit in one season.
