Blackberry Plant Information
Blackberries are distinguished from
raspberries by the retention of its
receptacle (white core) that stays with
the fruit when picked.
There are three types of blackberry:
trailing, erect, and semierect. The
difference is the growth habit of their
canes.
All blackberry plants are perennial; the
roots and the base of the plant (crown)
live for many years. The canes are
biennial; they grow 1 year (primocanes),
produce fruit the following year
(floricanes), and die after harvest.
