Organic Blackberry Seeds
Rubus ursinus
 
HOW TO GROW BLACKBERRIES :
 
Step 1
Place the seeds into a plastic zip-lock with damp peat moss (not wet), write the date and place bag into the fridge for 12-16 weeks.  Check them weekly to make sure that the medium is still moist and if not use a spray bottle to re-moisten.   Also check for any sprouts; if any have sprouted - take them out and plant them as per step 2, leaving the non-sprouted seeds in the fridge.
 
Step 2
After 12-16 weeks, fill pots or seed trays with well draining soil, a fruit compost mix is ideal. Place the seeds gently on the surface and lightly cover with more soil.  Blackberry seeds do not need light to germinate.  Water with a spray bottle to avoid over watering and then move into a warm, part sun position.  Seeds should germinate after 4-8 weeks.
 
Step 3
Once sprouted, move tray to sunny position.  Transplant seedlings when 10-15cm in height.  Keep in a small-medium pot until after first winter.

Step 4
Transplant to final position after last frost.  When planting out, allow 60cm of space around and in between them.  Once established, will survive severe cold.  Additional water advised when fruiting.  Blackberries can take between 2-3 years to begin fruiting.
