Blackberry plants are fruiting shrubs belonging to the genus Rubus in the rose family Rosaceae. They are relatively easy to care for, closer to wild roses than hybrid tea roses. They tolerate many growing conditions, but full sun is best for productive bushes. Some afternoon shade is acceptable, especially in hot summer areas. Careful site selection ensures a long life for your blackberry plants, typically around a decade with proper care. The ideal soil is slightly acidic with good drainage; these plants do not fare well in clay soil. Elevated sites or raised beds improve drainage and prevent late spring frosts from damaging flower buds. Blackberries need moderate watering, about 1 inch per week, either from rainfall or ground-level irrigation. Wet soils are not suitable for blackberries.
