Unlike some idiots would have you believe... blackberries are not raspberries when unripe. There IS a noticeable difference. As a kid I used to enjoy the occasional red blackberry, which generally means they're unripe, but I never had any big issues from it.

How do you look after and plant a blackberry bush?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Plant your Blackberry cane well and it will require little care. Water them when conditions become dry, especially if this occurs when the berries are forming. An annual dressing of well rotted compost will see them throughout the season. Where compost is not available, use a log lasting fertiliser such as bone meal. Blackberries are self fertile and so will produce fruit even if only one plant is grown.

What is the scientific name of blackberry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Actually "Blackberry" can be a number of species of Rubus:

Such as Rubus ursinus (i.e. California or Pacific Blackberry);

Rubus argutus (i.e. Southern Blackberry);

or Rubus fruticosus (i.e. European Blackberry).

In the case of R. fruticosus the botanists are making it very confusing if this is even a species anymore due to the labyrinth of "sub-genera" and "sections".

Other species include:

Rubus alleghiensis (i.e. Allegheny Blackberry);

Rubus canadensis (i.e. Smooth Blackberrry)

Rubus laciniatus (i.e. Cut-Leaf or Evergreen Blackberry)

Rubus ulmifolius (i.e. Elm-Leaf Blackberry).

There are also many "wild varieties" that are too numerous to mention.

Go to this website for a complete listing of all Rubus (related links).

Also it should be mentioned that all of these species of "blackberry" are being crossed with a multitude of "raspberries" creating hybrids that will make it even more confusing in the future to derive a specific species for any particular blackberry you see in the supermarket, let alone the wild varieties crossing with each other on the side of the road.

How long will frozen blackberries last?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Roughly 3 or 4 days, tops. Berries go bad quickly. You can double that by using those "green" bags that extend the shelf-life of produce. Also, the berries on the bottom of the carton, which have been crushed, are the first to go, and also the first to start developing mold. At the three-day mark, the bottom may be trash but the berries on the top may still be edible. If any berry is not whole, or is crushed, discard it.

What do you do to get rid of bugs on blackberries?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Blueberry growers located in areas where blueberry maggot has been detected should be aware that there is a greater risk of infestation in your plantings.

Regular monitoring of blueberry maggot emergence should be made with yellow baited stick traps.

Insect pests in the usa are blueberry gall midge, blueberry maggot fly, and thrips

* Application of insecticides to prevent infestation of blueberry maggot is advised, * To control the blueberry maggot apply a spray that contains 2 lbs. of 25% wettable powder malathion per 100 gallons of water. * Spraying the border of the planting (outer 6 - 8 rows of blueberries) and other high-risk areas with a suitable insecticide may greatly reduce the risk of infestation. Prevention

* Do not throw away the culls and unmarketable berries. Deep burial would be an effective way to dispose of this material.
