I've grown blackberries for years and wondered if they could be grown in containers - which in my mind offered numerous advantages - especially if your yard is highly shaded. You could move the pot around to catch the sun during different parts of the season, more easily prune the plant, conserve water, and eliminate weeds. Easier to protect from birds and other varmints too! Can't wait to try this! Your tip about picking blackberries and when to tell the are ripe? Golden! It makes a big difference in flavor in my experience. An excellent and informative video!
"assorted blackberry, which means I don't really know which variety it is". That's gold right there my friend. I knew right then that you'd have an awesome video. Thanks for keeping it real! Good job
I love how you dedicate such long time to make a single video. It is great to sed that your methode works, which in my opinion alot of RUclips videos lack. Most cases they show either only the planting process or only the harvesting. Thank you so much for high quality video!
Thank you, I just bought a couple of bushes, wasn't sure how they would grow in a pot. When I was a kid, they grew everywhere, we would pick them by the bucket loads, so expensive to buy, but if I can plant them in pots, thats great.
FINALLY I know when they are ripe to pick! This is our second year. Mine were huge, black, shiny and so tempting to pick but invariably we'd pick them too soon and while some were sweet, most were sour! Tried all kinds of experiments to discover when to pick. It was a hit or miss. Our raspberries were easy, the cap loosens off the core when they are ripe. Blackberries don't do that. now I know to wait until they lose their sheen. Thanks!
Your video is much better than those that just show someone putting a young plant in the dirt. I appreciate showing the growth and what to expect when the fruit becomes almost ripe and then ripe.
i've grown chester blackberries for 5 years or more and I learned alot from your video. I've moved and now can only grow in pots. You know your stuff. Have you ever tried to grow them in hydroponically or in self watering containers. That's what I want to do.
Thanks for your feedback! No as of now I do not do hydroponics because I believe plants were always meant to be grown in soil. The best flavor I get is from soil grown plants. Also plants growing in water lack some nutrients like selenium (which is present in soil). Since the whole idea of eating veggies is to get the most nutrients, I only grow in soil. But that may change one day. Aquaponics actually sounds more interesting to me, I'll see if I can get to it some day :) Good luck with your gardening ventures!
I just planted, my first attempt and didn't water the roots, but did water the soil and it did drain... fingers crossed and live down south and get plenty of sun so let's see. I'll keep you posted and have to get some of this "Fruit tree fertilizer" and probably use it two weeks after since I'm so late on this....
Thanks for the time laps so we know what it's supposed to look like. Im a first timer and just planted my black berries a little over a week ago. Can't wait to see more of your videos.
Hi sir you have Greatly explained it, i always watch your videos and like them because you always try to show the end result which makes you better than many other gardening teachers on youtube. Keep it up
I am just about to order some fruit tress for fall planting (raspberry, blueberry, blackberry), and this video is gold! I am going to follow your instructions to a tee, and hopefully get a great turnout like yours! It will definitely be worth the wait!
Thank you so much for this video. It was so very helpful and my husband and I will be planting blackberries in a container next spring, I am really excited lol.
Thanks for sharing. i live in southern Calif as well. My harvest was modest but the plant leaves don't look anything like yours. They're always brown and brittle so I think I'll start over with a larger or container with better mixture of soil including lime.
Great information and explained very well. Thank you! I just bought a small blackberry plant from Burpee. I hope it grows and gives off lot of berries! It is very young and small.
the reason your berries produced on the first year is because these berries were propagated from elbows of an older established blackberry, they take the parent plant's long primocanes, strip and stick the tip into a bag of compost, after 40 days they should have established roots themselves, then they cut it off and when it goes dormant they sell to the public, those primocanes would therefore be considered floricanes by the time you receive them :)
Very informative video --- I purchased a boysenberry from Knott's Berry farm 2 years ago and have had great success. The flavor is pretty amazing. They look no different than blackberries but the flavor is definitely different, sweeter. Continued success in your UTube channel !!!
Thanks this was really helpful! I just picked up a dozen bare root plants: four Natchez, four triple crown and four prime ark traveler. I'm going to plant them in containers tomorrow. It's still very cold here but plan on fertilizing then in the late Feb-March timeframe. They'll stay in containers for the first year and then will be planted next fall on the ground with a trellis
I found blackberries growing wild in my backyard about two years ago. Then, their growth exploded to the point of becoming invasive! This year, I'm going to transplant some new growth vines with their roots into a controlled row. If it is successful, I'll add an extra row next year, and then mow down the original wild bramble to make room for other things.
Here in Comox I found a lot of blackberries anywhere nearby the streets and you can get it for free you can pick the berries as many as you wanted. I picked a lot and bring it home in Alberta.
I live in Louisiana. I bought a blackberry and a muscadine plant from Walmart, like 3 years back, but have never planted them. They're still in their original (and now somewhat faded) pots, but are both nice and green, just doing fine. So, I'd like to know if I pot them now (late April), when could I expect to actually see them produce fruit? I live alone and wasn't able to dig the holes for them, and regrettably, never considered the possibility of container growing them. So thank you for this video and your help!
You should heavily mulch the top of the pot to protect the plant from excessive heat and help keep moisture in. Since your in California I would also recommend making sure the container is shaded.
Great video! My grandmother had a huge blackberry bush in her backyard when I was 5 and I have to grow myself one now after seeing this tutorial! great video, thanks again :)
TigerLily Gzz I grew my blackberry bush and raspberry bush as seeds. I feel successful. Because I already have 4 blackberry bushes and 3 raspberry. Next spring im gonna plant more. This year a pomegranate.
ive been growing raspberries, and i do want to try to grow blackberries sometime nect year. I also tried different propagation methods as well so i can give some plants to my friends and to increase my crop. I loved your video, and i was wondering if you could give some "accurate" methods of propagation, because just about all of my attemps have failed 😂 Again, i love your videos, ty so much!
+Something Random (Plant Lover) To propagate blackberries, just take a stem and bury it in the ground, do not cut it! The stem will form roots. See this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layering and then cut the stem once roots are formed, you now have a new plant!
Hi .. you have been using lot of things like peat moss, garden lime, fertilizer, bone meal, sea weed fertilizer etc.. can you please explain them. Also can you do a video on the below, a) what are the products you use for gardening b) What plant need what ? some time you are saying some need nitrogen and some don't please combine these and make a video, it will be very helpful c) Video on compatible plants
Yet another FABULOUS video!!! I am SO thankful I found your channel! I live in Northern Santa Barbara County, but might be moving to San Luis Obispo County soon - AND, if so, living amongst wildlife! I would LOVE a video on how to garden both vegetables/fruits/flowers when living in a VERY rural area - sometimes visited by deer, raccoons, turkeys, mountain lions, squirrels, gophers, and many more! I know you may not have any experience in this, but this could be an area you research and cover in your videos! I'd watch! ;)
Hmmmm, food for thought... I know we do get some frost temps in the winter but maybe not enough, as you said.I don't see a lot of wild blackberries growing in my area. Thank you for your thoughtful reply.
Thanks for this video! I'm just starting to plant my first fruit trees, plants, shrubs and veg and your videos are so helpful! They are super easy to follow and watch :)
Thank you. I purchased a plant last year, but I guess I made a few mistakes, but she's sprouted a new shoot, because the original went dead. So I'll keep an eye on her, now I know what she needs. I'm in South Florida, so I guess this is starting all over again.
California Gardener I thought I might inform you that you bought a 1 year old bush, so this was its second year. If you grew from seed you may see a berry or two depending on how much it grew in its first year, but other than that great video, never grew blackberries in a container and wondered how they did.
Hi, it's me again. I was just thinking...can you make a video on what we should start growing in the coming months? I noticed that you make your wonderful videos and as a viewer I just keep thinking to myself...dang! This guy started in February...wish I could of followed along with him back then. Would you please make a video so that we can follow along? I'm usually just sitting here drooling at all your fruits and veggies...lol. Thanks! If you can't...I totally understand. You have your videos and dates all set and ready to go.
wonderlucha That's a good suggestion. I will keep that in mind for the upcoming video series - have a few videos to rollout and then I will get to it. Appreciate your feedback very much!
Thank you for considering it. It would be really nice if we could grow our vegetables using the same products as you do...in other words...we're copycats! LOL. But in a good way. I live close to where you're at (at I think...lol) and I think I can buy most of the products. Thanks again!
Oh wait...I must of sounded creepy...what I wanted to say is that I live in Southern Ca too and our weather is the same and I can probably grow similar to you. There, I said it without sounding weird or like a stalker! LOL.
How long have you had this plant? Would love to see what it looks like after a year! How long do you think the plant would fruit, say if I brought it inside for winter time. I know that some types of strawberries will fruit all seasons in kept fertilized.
I have a blackberry that is in its 3rd year. It produces the most ripe fruit in June-July then has some here and there until frost. Keep it outside, the branches need to die off for new growth the next year.
I had a small plant last year that I potted... This year, some gorgeous flowers arose. After they wilted I removed them by reflex formed by taking care if my ornamental plants... and then realised those were my future berries. Will this plant make any new flowers, or this was it?:)
Great video. I believe the canes that you bought are 1 year old. That’s why they bear fruit the first year you planted them. The grower had those in their soil for one year already.
thanks for all your great videos! they have been so helpful in learning to garden. you had a video for just about every question I searched for. thanks for all the help!
We have these barries in our jungle...they grow naturally ........they are wild plant ....but their taste is awesome. ......in Shimla,Himachal Pradesh ( India)
Watering largely depends on the temperatures. On hot sunny days, most vegetables need to be watered 4-7 times a week. On cloudy and cool days, 3-4 times a week is sufficient. Hope that helps!
I would guess you have a Prime Ark Freedom blackberry plant as it fruited on first year canes (primocanes) and it is thornless. Thornless primocane blackberries have only been around for about 3 years, glad to hear they are delicious!
chigimonky Thanks for the information! Yes you are absolutely right, these are thornless and fruited the first year! Nice to know they are primocanes. We all learn something new every day and its exciting!
Glad it was helpful. I usually make my own compost. Or if you want to buy from the garden store, its called planting mix. Mix in some steer manure or chicken manure and you are good to go. Hope that helps.
I just received 3 blackberry plants from a coworker and since it is now fall I decided to plant them in a pot that I can place in the storage closet during the winter months. Can you show how you store your plants during the winter?
+TheBr20042003 Nice to know you are growing the 3 blackberry plants. How you store your plants depends on how cool it gets in your winters. Here in SoCal the winters are mild but I still shelter the tropical plants in a green house during the winter. I roll up the opening during the day and close the cover by night. I will try and do a video on that!
@@CaliforniaGardening I live in northern wv. I love your videos an clean clear instructions. Just now planting 2 blackberry plants in their separate containers. I'm very concerned how to winter them here. It gets below xero at times. Cold, snowy, bitter then it can warm up the very next week an we're cooking christmas dinner with the windows open an fans or ac running. Don't want to loose them. Again great site look forward to notifications of new info. I'm hooked. Thanks.
Can you do a video on how to prune your blackberries. Also do you have any raspberry videos? Do you think they are about the same care? I had problems with pincher bugs eating my raspberry leaves. Any suggestions?? Please and thank you! Love your videos!
Thank you for this video. I will likely return to it often. I have a new plant in a grow bag. It is growing.. however horizontally. Am I supposed to tie it to a stake? It is about 2 feet.
Hi I love the way you give tips on how to grow fruits trees ,vegetables and herds . I am from Malaysia , some off the nursery are bring in blueberry chestnut ,avocado and a few berry plants to Malaysia .I just want to know how much sunlight do the berries need or do berries love to grow under a big tree . Thank you for sharing
Wow lovely blackberry plant n the berries I have bought for the first time berry plant coz the weather is very hot were I stay so I should plant them in big container I have vermicompost I have good grow mix but am confused of fertilizer so exactly can u name please or should I add grow mix it’s organic so when am planting I should also put fertilizer coz the gardener told me not to put any fertilizer please suggest I love the way u explain y video r very informative lovely plants u have xx
CG, How do you winter over your containers of blackberries? Do you just leave them be outside or do you bring them in a cool place like a garage or shed?
They survive the winter here. From this container, it was transplanted in the ground. See the updated fruit orchard here: ruclips.net/video/dLODdgI9af4/видео.html
I have my seeds ready I just haven't planted theses yet. I just planted my strawberry seeds yesterday so I want to see how that goes and if that's successful than I'll proceed to plant my blackberry seeds. 😊
Hello my friend. Love all your videos and your passion for organic gardening. I have a request to ask. Recently I was able to get some Indian tulsi basil from a friend and wondered if you could guide me through it or make a video. I wish to plant it in a container to keep it inside during winter since I live in Canada and it’s pretty cold and snowy in winter. Can you please help. Thanks in advance
cant wait to grow black berries in pots cos I have had them in yard before and they took over so got rid of them and never thought you could contain them in pots,i thought the seeds will drop off all over yard and spread through yard again

Blackberry is now my favorite fruit. You guys should really try it. I know they are sometimes sour but the sweet ones are sooo good
the reason your berries produced on the first year is because these berries were propagated from elbows of an older established blackberry, they take the parent plant's long primocanes, strip and stick the tip into a bag of compost, after 40 days they should have established roots themselves, then they cut it off and when it goes dormant they sell to the public, those primocanes would therefore be considered floricanes by the time you receive them :)

Great video, informative and straight to the point
Glad it was helpful!
Great instructional video! Can you please tell me what kind of compost you use and recommend? Thank you!
Glad it was helpful. I usually make my own compost. Or if you want to buy from the garden store, its called planting mix. Mix in some steer manure or chicken manure and you are good to go. Hope that helps.
How often did you water the blackberry plant? And what time of year did you plant?
I just received 3 blackberry plants from a coworker and since it is now fall I decided to plant them in a pot that I can place in the storage closet during the winter months. Can you show how you store your plants during the winter?
+TheBr20042003 Nice to know you are growing the 3 blackberry plants. How you store your plants depends on how cool it gets in your winters. Here in SoCal the winters are mild but I still shelter the tropical plants in a green house during the winter. I roll up the opening during the day and close the cover by night. I will try and do a video on that!
@@CaliforniaGardening I live in northern wv. I love your videos an clean clear instructions. Just now planting 2 blackberry plants in their separate containers. I'm very concerned how to winter them here. It gets below xero at times. Cold, snowy, bitter then it can warm up the very next week an we're cooking christmas dinner with the windows open an fans or ac running. Don't want to loose them. Again great site look forward to notifications of new info. I'm hooked. Thanks.
Can you do a video on how to prune your blackberries. Also do you have any raspberry videos? Do you think they are about the same care? I had problems with pincher bugs eating my raspberry leaves. Any suggestions?? Please and thank you! Love your videos!
Add epsom around base on top of soil for sweeter fruits?
I grow blackberries and raspberries in abundance just plant dried berries around bush to increase the total size of the bush
Thank you for this video. I will likely return to it often. I have a new plant in a grow bag. It is growing.. however horizontally. Am I supposed to tie it to a stake? It is about 2 feet.
all your videos are very use full. please tell me about how we can preserve rajanigandha bulbs for a long time.

CG, How do you winter over your containers of blackberries? Do you just leave them be outside or do you bring them in a cool place like a garage or shed?
They survive the winter here. From this container, it was transplanted in the ground. See the updated fruit orchard here: ruclips.net/video/dLODdgI9af4/видео.html
I have my seeds ready I just haven't planted theses yet. I just planted my strawberry seeds yesterday so I want to see how that goes and if that's successful than I'll proceed to plant my blackberry seeds. 😊
I love this guy and his efforts
Great video, finally one that shows from beginning to end.
Those blackberries turned out GREAT!!! thanks for sharing :)
Thank you very much! I followed your video and it was very helpful and informative.
Hello my friend. Love all your videos and your passion for organic gardening. I have a request to ask. Recently I was able to get some Indian tulsi basil from a friend and wondered if you could guide me through it or make a video. I wish to plant it in a container to keep it inside during winter since I live in Canada and it’s pretty cold and snowy in winter. Can you please help. Thanks in advance
SO glad to see captions!
Great lovely Blackberries. Thanks for sharing the information.
Patrick Meehan Thanks for watching!
Thanks. I lack garden space & will plant the blackberry in a container.
Awesome!! So happy to have found this video!
cant wait to grow black berries in pots cos I have had them in yard before and they took over so got rid of them and never thought you could contain them in pots,i thought the seeds will drop off all over yard and spread through yard again
I just bought three bushes from the nursery. I’m excited. Do I need to trellis the canean and how do I trim old canes?
Loved the information 💖
Glad it was helpful!
