Soil Type

Water: Cutleaf evergreen blackberry is drought-tolerant, thriving in well-draining soil typical of its native habitats. Water every 1-2 weeks to balance hydration and avoid root rot. Primarily grown outdoors, cutleaf evergreen blackberry flourishes in conditions that reflect its adaptability to variable moisture levels.

Fertilize: Cutleaf evergreen blackberry thrives on balanced nutrition; apply a 10-10-10 fertilizer in early spring, using 1 cup for young plants, increasing for mature ones. Supplement with half-strength liquid fertilizer monthly during growth. Water thoroughly after feeding and reduce feeding in fall for dormancy preparation.

Pruning: Pruning is vital for cutleaf evergreen blackberry. After harvest, cut all fruit-bearing canes to the base and trim first-year canes by half to encourage lateral growth. Remove suckers and overcrowded canes, ensuring individual canes in patches don’t touch to prevent disease. Dispose of pruned canes to avoid disease harboring.

Propagation: Cutleaf evergreen blackberry thrives through vegetative propagation using healthy semi-hardwood cuttings. Dip in rooting hormone and plant in a peat-perlite mix. Ensure indirect light and humidity. After rooting, transfer to well-draining, organic-rich soil for optimal growth.
