Cultivation & harvest

The ideal location for blackberries is sunny to partial shade and, at best, protected from the wind. Also for blackberries, the sunnier, the sweeter.

Use

The riper the fruits when harvested, the sweeter they are. Blackberries are particularly well suited for jams and as a topping for gateaux.

Storage

Blackberries are ripe when the exterior of the fruit is plump and shiny. Blackberries are particularly sensitive and mould quickly, so they must be eaten quickly.
