Question: what are the best growing conditions for blackberries?
Answer: Choose a site that is in full sun and has plenty of room for the ramblers to grow. If you put them in too much shade, they won't produce much fruit. The soil should be a well-draining sandy loam with a pH of 5.5-6.5. If you lack an area with sufficient drainage, plan on growing blackberry bushes in a raised bed.
