How to grow? 1. Scratch any seed without damage with a sharp knife. Scarification helps break the strong seed dormancy surrounding the embryo. 2. Place the blackberry seeds in a resealable plastic bag along with a handful of damp peat moss. Seal the bag, and place in a refrigerator with temperatures around 33-35 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep the seeds chilled for 12-16 weeks. 3. Fill seed trays with seed starter soil, and spread the blackberry seeds on top of the soil. Lightly cover the seeds with soil, and place in a warm area. Blackberry seed germination does not require bright light since the seeds are covered with soil. Mist the soil with water in a spray bottle whenever the soil begins to dry out. Once seedlings begin to sprout, move the tray to an area with bright light. 4. Remove the weeds from a planting area in full to partial sun. Pick a location with good drainage. Spread a 3- to 6-inch-layer of well-rotted compost over the planting area. Dig the organic material into the soil with a shovel. Work the compost into the top 8 inches of soil. This gives the blackberry plants a good source of slow-release nutrients. Smooth the soil with a rake. 5. Dig holes with a hand trowel only as deep and wide as the seedlings' root balls. Space the holes out 4 to 6 feet apart. Place the seedlings in the holes, and fill with soil. Gently firm the soil around the brambles so they stand up. Space the rows 10 feet apart. 6. Water the soil around the base of the blackberry plants until it is slightly muddy. Give the berry plants 1 inch of water each week when there is no rainfall during the summer. Spread 2 to 3 inches of organic mulch around the base of the new shrubs. Mulching benefits blackberry bushes by reducing weed growth, slowing soil moisture evaporation and providing slow-release nutrients. Keep the mulch layer thick throughout the life of the blackberry bushes.

• Blackberry Seeds . The healthful benefits are many , rich in vitamin C , vitamin K , B vitamin , Omega-3 , Manganese . In Oregon trials, 8-year-old Triple Crown Blackberry plants yielded an impressive 30 pounds or more of blackberries per plant. Puree tests by ARS and Oregon State University scientists determined that the berry is also suitable for juice, pies, syrup, preserves and other processed foods
• riple Crown rated equal to the popular Chester Thorn less and Marion blackberries in color, flavor and overall quality. The nature of the Triple Crown Blackberry is that of a trailing berry plant and requires trellising for optimum production
• Once the canes reach about 30 inches, they begin to fall over to the ground. This plant like most trailing varieties is propagated through tip layering. It will not be as long and dense as the upright varieties which are 2 year old plants.
• Begins bearing fruit in 2 years Fruit Yield: up to 30 pounds of fruit per vine. Planting Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Plant Type: Deciduous Light requirements: Full Sun Soil Conditions: Moist, Well Drained Height at Maturity: 4 - 5 ft Growth Rate: Fast
