The common blackberry can be found in thickets in the woods, or in supermarkets during the summer. Ideal for naturalizing or for an edible plant garden, blackberries also flower beautifully and support a wide variety of pollinators and birds. Cutting the canes back every few years will keep fruiting consistent. Two plants are recomended for cross-pollination.
