Austin Dewberry Blackberry Shrub

The ‘Austin’ Dewberry plant will produce a large crop of berries without requiring much tending. It is commonly used for its edible fruit and it’s great for making cobblers, pies, and even jellies. The berries can also be used to make delicious cakes. Large, sweet and juicy, flavorful fruit. Blackberries prefer loamy, well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5 to 7.0, and thrive in a full sun location with six to eight hours of direct sunshine. Their average height and spread varies widely, but in general, you’ll need to place each plant about three to five feet apart if you plan to grow more than one.
