This upright plant has green foliage and will grow 3 to 4 feet tall, making it a wonderful container plant. The stems do not have prickly thorns, so it is easy to pick fruit, making this a great plant for families with small children.
Baby Cakes™ Dwarf Thornless Blackberry Care
Plant when the canes are dormant, either in the fall or early spring. The plants will grow 3 to 4 feet wide, but space plants 3 to 5 feet apart to create a continuous hedge while still allowing some space to harvest fruit. Plant this shrub in full sun using rich soil that is well-drained and has a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. This compact plant naturally maintains a good shape but trim old canes after the harvest.
