• Stratification: To plant in the spring, seeds require a long period of cold, moist stratification (90-120 days) in the refrigerator before sowing.
• Depth: Surface sow seeds on top of the soil
• Spacing: Space or thin plants to 3-5 feet apart.
• Light Requirement: Full Sun to Partial Shade.
• Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil.

⚠️ Please note

• This species has separate male and female flowers. It's best to grow several plants to ensure you have both for successful pollination and fruit production. Male flowers have larger petals and numerous stamens, while female flowers have smaller petals and numerous pistils. The female plants produce the characteristic elongated, black blackberries. One male plant can pollinate many female plants within 30-50 feet.
