The black satin blackberry size is up to 6 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide at maturity. It's the perfect size for small garden spaces or growing on your patio! Space the blackberries at least 4-5 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation.

Your black satin blackberry container should be at least twice the size of the container you get it in. A 5 or 6-gallon pot would suffice. It will need to be repotted every 2-3 years as it outgrows its current pot. With a little TLC, growing black satin thornless blackberry is rewarding and fun!

Gardeners should perform black satin blackberry pruning annually to have the best chance of producing bushels of blackberries. Prune back canes after they finish fruiting. Flowers are produced on old wood so take note of which semi-erect canes did not produce and save those for the following growing season.
