Baby Cakes™ Dwarf Thornless Blackberry is a compact shrub that produces a high yield of sweet berries. The black fruit can be eaten fresh, used in baking, jellies, jams, or preserves, and freezes well. 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.

Growing Baby Cakes™ Dwarf Thornless Blackberry

This compact plant does not need to be trellised and will grow 3 to 4 feet tall. Baby Cakes™ Dwarf Thornless Blackberry is low maintenance and does not require much care. It will produce fruit by the second or third growing season.

Growing Baby Cakes™ Dwarf Thornless Blackberry in Containers

The small size and lack of thorns make this cultivar a good candidate for a container. One plant can comfortably live in an 8- to 10-inch pot. Place the container in full sun and water when the top few inches of soil dry out.

Watering Baby Cakes™ Dwarf Thornless Blackberry

Baby Cakes™ Dwarf Thornless Blackberry plants need 1 to 2 inches of water per week during the growing season. Generally, water the plants a couple of times a week, but the plants may need more water during a drought.

Feeding Baby Cakes™ Dwarf Thornless Blackberry

Blackberry shrubs respond well to feeding. Support healthy growth and berry production by applying a balanced fertilizer each spring.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
