How to grow a Blackberry..
The Secret Blackberry Bramble grows vigorously and rapidly. It is not artificially irrigated. Temperature is not micro-managed. In late spring and early summer the flowers emerge. Bees are essential in the pollination process that eventually results in the formation of the fruit. Interruptions to bee activity is critical.
When to Pick our Blackberries…
Because there is little human intervention in the production of the fruit, the quantity, quality and timing of the fruit varies from year to year. Generally speaking, however, the fruit is ready for picking in Australia in February.
How much jam do we produce….
In a “good” year there is fruit of sufficient quality and quantity to produce 450 jars of Blackberry Jam. In a “lean” year 290 jars. In a “not so good” year 100 jars.
