Youngberry plants are a semi self-supporting bramble but generally grow better against a fence or in between a trellis. They can be planted in the ground or in a pot of at least 24L or bigger and prefer a well draining, slightly acidic, loamy soil with lots of well decomposed organic matter. They require frequent watering and full sun but will tolerate part shade and generally require feeding once a month during their growing season with a balanced, good quality fertiliser.
Youngberry plants are self-pollinating but will produce better fruit quantity & quality if there are at least 2 plants to allow cross pollinating and it is worth noting that fruit is only produced on second year growth canes. These plants are summer bearing and produce a single crop during the summer season.
Youngberries are plump, juicy fruit which are suitable for jams, deserts and smoothies. The fruit also freezes well.
