Blackberry Bedford Giant Early Fruiting Plant

Plant Count: 1

Blackberry Early fruiting variety that starts the blackberry picking season bearing fruit from late July to August. The fruits are borne in large clusters and are large, round and soft with a good flavour. Very vigorous and therefore this is not an ideal variety for a small garden but it is suitable for planting against a wall or fence. Large fruit up to 2cm diameter. Excellent flavour. Fruits late July to August.

Planting Growing Instructions Plant in well prepared, well-drained soil enriched with well-rotted manure or compost, in sun or light shade. Space plants at 2-2.5m intervals. Provide support on wires on a trellis, fence or arch, or on a post and wire structure. Cut old canes down to the ground after fruiting and tie in new canes for the next season's fruit. Mulch with spent hops or compost in spring. Make sure that you keep the area weed free.

Cultural Instructions Cut back any dead or wayward shoots in February/March and mulch annually in March. Water freely during growing season.

Supplied in a 9cm square Plant pot.

Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers.

Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.
