hey everyone, this is Dream from Where the YoCals grow. in today's video we are going to be planting
my very first blackberry that I have ever grown and then we're going to take a little tour of all
the berry plants that we planted during this grow your berries in a container series if you all are
new here welcome and if you're returning, I am so glad to see you again let's get growing y'all
okay everyone just like we did in our previous videos with the golden raspberry and the blueberry
we filled up our pot and we created a hole
by using another pot and you can see that video
there and then you just take the pot very slowly and you pull it up and it creates the perfect hole
also just like in our other videos
also just like in our other videos we soaked the blackberry for a good 20 30 minutes and you can
see that here how we did it and then because our hole is perfectly shaped just like the bottom
of that blackberry it's going to fit right down into it now you know this is the first time I've
ever planted a blackberry this is my very first blackberry bush so i don't know a lot about it
I've done a lot of research on it and it pretty much
said that it was just as easy to plant as a raspberry okay you all
now that we got it planted this is the first blackberry that I have ever grown and the reason
I haven't grown any blackberries in the past is most blackberries well all blackberries not most
all blackberries have thorns on it and with little joey running around and this being in his sensory
garden and this is something he's going to touch often I didn't want anything that had thorns on it
this is called where is its name this is called the prime Arkansas freedom blackberry it was
created at the university of Arkansas and it is the first thornless blackberry in existence
it grows well in pots according to all the research that I have done
and does not need to be trellis but it says that it will produce berries in its first year
sorry about that y'all such as life well all those cell phones those electronic leashes but it will
produce berries in its first year of life sorry about the interruption little man's out here um
it says that it will produce prolific berries in its first year so we highly anticipate to have
blackberries this year and it just like the others it's over here in the sensory garden
and I'm excited to have it if you all have not seen my other videos where
I planted up the blackberry and the golden raspberry I'll link those at the end of this
video so you all can go and check it out but if you have any suggestions any information or if
you've grown blackberries please leave it down in the comments and let me know because like I said
this is the first time that I've ever grown a blackberry I did put the true organic berry
food in it and then it from a suggestion from a friend I have what's called mikos,
sorry it's very windy out here today too um and it's an organic root stimulator that you can uh
i had to get it on amazon just for those of you who are going to go look for it I had to get it
on amazon but I've only I've only used that on my tomatoes before so this is the first time I've
used it on a fruit so we'll see what happens and I'll keep you posted and let you know how it goes
I thought I'd give you a little tour since this is the final berry that's being planted
so here it is we'll get a little closer to it so you all can see it'll try to go slow
so, you can see what it looks like here's one of its first flowers
and then as you can see there are no thorns which is great and then over here is one of
our strawberry towers and if you look close, we are already getting some strawberries on there
this is a heritage raspberry I got this one at Lowe's at the same time is when I got the two
blueberries that I planted in the pots this one again is for those of you uh we'll see how it goes
I have another I had another heritage but it didn't I don't know it didn't do very well last
year but I did not get it from Lowe's I got it from a big nursery I got it from stark's nursery
and it didn't grow guys it not right out of the shoot it didn't grow I didn't call
starks and complain because I don't believe in doing that because you're going to have
hit misses with things it was my first year to grow a raspberry so I can't say that it wasn't
human error that caused it not to grow this is the golden raspberry that we planted in the video and
I will link that video at the end of this video so you all can see but look how beautiful that is
and then this one is another golden raspberry that I got from starks last year
the main stem of it died last year but then this little stem come up
and it's starting to I don't know if you all can see that I'll get a little closer starting to
get some blooms on it and we'll see how that one goes and let's go back over here I forgot to do
these are my original blueberries these are from starks too guys I got these last year
and then here are the two that we planted in the video and again I'll link that video for you all
and I'll also link the video of me I'm doing the strawberry so you all can see that as well
and then we got one more all right this is the other stack now the blue stack that you
just saw and this one are both dollar tree these are the first two original stacks of
the dollar tree stackers that I got and I'm telling you right now they grow just as well as
my green stock and i know a lot of people don't want to hear that but if you do it right they go
just as well let me show you the strawberries that are already on these plants and i have
more stacks that will be planted up I just haven't got them done
hey y'all thanks for hanging out with me today in the garden and helping me plant my very first
blackberry ever I'm so excited about it because it has no thorns that means my little one who
loves blackberries will be able to go and pick some blackberries without having to worry about
that he's going to get stuck by something and if you all have any helpful information
um you know suggestions or anything let's talk about it leave them down in the comments I love
hearing from you all and as always I always love answering your questions
this one might be a little harder because it's my first blackberry and with it being a brand
new blackberry on the market you know just coming out of the university of Arkansas I don't know
how it's going to go we'll just have to see if every all the information they gave me holds true
