Finally you can grow flavorful thornless blackberries in a pot without a trellis! Baby Cakes ®, a new introduction, is a dwarf, thornless blackberry perfect for container gardening - growing to only 3-4' tall with a pleasing, rounded, compact habit. In summer, large, sweet berries ripen on top of the plant.

In most regions (that don't have very high prolonged summer heat), this blackberry will also produce a fall crop. Additionally, this is our most winter-hardy blackberry. Produces fruit on 2nd year canes. Plant patent #27,032. 1 gallon pot. USDA Zones 4-8.

Bushel and Berry® is a unique collection of compact, ornamental and self-pollinating berry plants for the home garden.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

    10 to 20 dry gallon pots work great!

  • should I use a fertilizer on these blackberries? If yes what should I use?

Much larger than expected.

Several very nice canes arrived in good shape. I had expected small twigs and received a nice sized plant. I am pleased.

Small and thorn less

We picked this small thorn less bush for a planter on our patio. It came bare root. Once we got it planted, it took right off. We have a water line directly to it for easy irrigation. We are excited to see what it does and how it produces.
