Do I need other varieties to have my blackberries pollinate? Are these bushes?

No you do not. I have had blackberry bushes for several years with a good crop every year. They will multiply if you keep them watered and once or twice a year put down a dry fertilizer. Yes they are bushes.

Yes. You probably need to soak them for awhile to plump them up. I haven't tried it but read good comments about cooking the berries in sugar and cornstarch (a base of maybe water?) To thicken the filling up.

No we don't have random plants, only where we planted them and left small tubers for this year. It wouldn't be hard to snip the flowers off before they are mature if you are concerned about over producing. You may also call me, I would love to come transplant any extras you have, LOL.

I Haven't tried dried blackberries but it will do fine. I have tried other vines and works good

Strawberry plants seem to tolerate some shade, so if it's not from some tree that kills stuff underneath it, some shade would probably be okay as long as there is some light. But I don't know how the Mignonettes in particular will do and whether they will produce. For a variety of reasons, mostly not having to do with the quality of the seed itself, I didn't end up with many plants, but a couple I did get into a planter outdoors in partial shade (some sun from about 1 pm to 5 pm) seemed to do well, until the chipmunks disturbed them too much. I think I need to keep some going for a year to find out if they'll bear fruit.

Absolutely. Best choices for them. Google blueberry fertilizer and you will see it is preferred option. Careful on the name though, there are poor alternatives that have very similar names.

I don't see why not. My plants are flourishing but they are not flowering plants.

Depending on what you are growing, you may need Florabloom, and Floramicro. I was growing lettuce, so I did not require the Florabloom or the Floramicro.

I don't know where you live, but I live in Oregon. I planted mine last spring and all 10 plants produced many berries. 9 of the plants lived through the winter and are now growing well. I was not, however, impressed with the flavor, size or quality of the berries. I think I will stick to regular red berries.

hi there.. I didn't do any juicing of blackberries but I believe it will work...I did the concord grapes which are seeded and I had no seeds in my juice. thanks. but I did do blackberries in a juice quite similar about 6 years ago and I had no problem with the seeds...I had also did raspberries that year as well .....with amazing results

Hi Donald, These arrive as live plants; moist bare-root. If you need to know the genre and species its best you take it up with the seller. GMO or Not, I have had some success with these bearing hardy strawberries, which are very flavorful. The time from arrival into the ground is crucial. I am in southeast FL, so I can grow these year round. Not sure what frankenstrain is, but these are hardy, bare-root starter clumps, and after 10 minutes of soaking in warm water, they had already opened there leaf buds. Within 90 days I had fruit, albeit sparse but now I have plenty and need to check for ripe ones every few days. I ordered 25 but the grower actually sent 33 clumps. I lost 5 or so In the process. I am so satisfied, I am going to add more next fall. Read up on the intensive bedding set-up and care they require before you buy. Prep your planting area in advance of their arrival. "Heavy Feeders." Best of Luck Greg

You are not supposed to mix them. They are complete individually. If you are transitioning between grow and bloom, you could use 1/2 the amount of each to get a mix of the two

Yes, on the container it mentions that it will kill blackberry bushes. I recommend that you make sure the solution is placed at the root. I hope this answers your question Shirley.

Yes, it is suppose to be self pollinating. Mine is not old or big enough yet - but I am patiently waiting. Good luckBonnie

no, but they are gorgeous. mine came as a small plant so it will take several years for it to bloom. i grew one several years ago only it was a peach-colored one. really beautiful.

They are not completely dry and taste better than alternatives. I do not work for the grower nor distributor, so I cannot directly answer your question. What I do know is they are considered "wild" blueberries, which - after a 20 sec Google - gives this definition: http://www.wildblueberries.com/news/faqs.php
