With compact, almost thornless plants bearing delicious berries for months in summer and early autumn, dwarf Blackberry Lowberry ‘Little Black Prince’ is ideal for small gardens and patio containers. It bears fruit on its previous year’s canes in mid-summer, with a second crop of berries appearing on new shoots from late summer, giving you a harvest period that goes on for up to 4 months! Growing to just 1m tall, it’s easy to grow on in a patio container, and the virtually thornless stems make harvesting easy. The sweet-tart, juicy berries are perfect for puddings and jams.

Planting tips and hints:
Planting in the ground: Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy mix in a soil improver before backfilling. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly. Water regularly in the first year after planting and in dry periods.
Planting in containers: Choose a pot with good drainage holes. Place stones or crocks (bits of broken pottery) at the bottom of the pot to stop the drainage holes clogging up. Use a good quality loam-based compost such as John Innes no 3.
Feeding and aftercare: Mulch annually with organic matter such as garden compost. Apply a slow-release high potash fertiliser in mid-spring. Feed container grown plants with a high potash liquid fertiliser during the summer months, and water regularly. Re-pot every 2-3 years in winter.
How to prune Blackberry ‘Little Black Prince’: New canes produce fruit in late summer and early autumn, while last year’s canes produce fruit on side shoots in mid-summer. For a double harvest, cut back some of last year’s fruited canes hard in March. These will produce additional new shoots which will bear fruit in late summer and autumn. Leave the rest of the previous year’s shoots to stand and they will produce fruit on their existing side shoots in July.
