A Modern Marvel of Blackberry Breeding
The Baby Cakes® Blackberry is a patented variety from the Bushel and Berry® collection, developed for gardeners who want all the flavor of traditional blackberries in a smaller, easier-to-manage form. It is a dwarf, thornless plant that grows only about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for patios or smaller garden plots. Unlike larger blackberry varieties, Baby Cakes® allows for hassle-free harvesting without the risk of scratching from thorns, while still delivering the sweet, rich flavor of fresh blackberries.
Care Guide for Baby Cakes® Blackberry
This blackberry shrub thrives in full sun and well-drained & slightly acidic soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots, then reduce watering as the plant matures. Fertilizing in early spring with a balanced fertilizer formulated for fruiting shrubs encourages strong growth and abundant fruit production. Baby Cakes® produces two crops in many climates: a mid-summer harvest on floricanes and a later season crop on primocanes. Prune after harvest to maintain shape and encourage new cane growth for the next season.
