Soil:
This plant grows best in well drained soil rich in organic matter.

Blackberries grow best on a trellis structure which keeps the canes
and berries off the ground. Fertiliser should be applied after the plant
begins to grow fresh foliage. If pruned hard immediately after fruiting
the next seasons crop will be improved.
