Yep, you sure can! I am growing Prime Ark Freedom blackberries in 20 gallon pots. I planted them earlier this year and they are huge, delicious and I got a good production 1st year. Very pleased with the variety. Follow TP2's directions and you will be successful growing blackberries in pots.

Well, I did it. Yesterday I made the 55 mile trek to Bob Wells Nursery and came home with 18 berry plants and 1 lime tree! I couldn’t find the PrimeArk variety anywhere locally so off I went! Great service, huge variety of all kinds of plants and I will definitely be going back when I have more time to look around. I have my tubs, fertilizer, and amendments, and I’ll be getting the compost tomorrow- can’t wait to actually be growing berries. I also got raspberry, boysenberry, and dewberry plants. Thank you for the recommendation and your how-to videos.

Love your videos. I lived my life in San Diego and had gardens every year. It’s easy to grow vegetables in that climate or lack of climate. Never had to look at the weather report. I retired and moved to Mexico for 10 years, and for the first time I didn’t grow a garden. Didn’t know what to do with myself when spring came. Now I’m back in the states, and last year I tried my hand at southern gardening in containers and found Leon. My biggest obstacle was the weather. Rain and wind, and frost. Lost my first and second plantings and finally got a crop going in May. Learned a lot last year. Now I have a successful crop going and it’s the beginning of May. Following your channel I decided to raise two Blackberries, one Prime Ark Freedom and a Big Daddy (new) of all the fruit Blackberries are my favorite. Haven’t decided if I’m going to trellis them together or keep them stand-alone so when the weather turns nasty I’d be able to move them to a safe location between the house and garage. Unless it’s a Tornado, ha. Thanks again for the informative videos!

Hey! I do enjoy your videos! I am a Texas container gardener too. I have been growing the PrimeArk Freedom blackberry for 3 years now in syrup buckets. Fabulous crop this year! I also have some in a 2x6 stock tank. Would love to hear how you keep track of which ones are primocane and which canes are 2nd year. I get so worried I will prune the wrong ones. Please discuss in your next pruning video. You are an inspiration! Would love to show you my stock tank container garden. The only way to go in the rocky hill country where we live. I think I can garden until I’m 100 now! Thanks again. Everything you share applies!

I looked into buying these from an online nursery and Texas was one of the states they said this variety of blackberry cannot be shipped to. Why would that be? In the mid 80's I lived in Cleburne and grew Brazos berries which I loved. I'm back in Texas after 30 years just south of Dallas and looking for the perfect blackberry. I love these.

Have you considered putting swimming pool noodle material on your fence wire to cushion the cane from damage when the wind blows and canes rub against it? You can cut these into smaller sections and don't have to keep the entire weight of the length on the wire. If it doesn't help it'll make a colorful video :) Love your channel. I've been following you for years and have a 6 year old berry patch in Denton TX. In the middle of suburban area and getting about 2 gallons of berries a day. This june the season lasted over 2 weeks with one patch starting early. Its 17-June and I have just a handful of berries remaining on the vine. Whatever variety this is produced in June and that's all I get, but the shoots grow great the rest of the year, so I make a little in propogating. Id rather have the plant growth than the berries, so I get the best of both I think. I have pics on my FB channel and would love to connect with you. Friend me! Be blessed brother

That's interesting, growing black berries that you bought at a nursery. To be honest I've never thought about that. Blackberries grow as weed here in Washington.

I got four replacements for Bob Wells. These plants all have green leaves and seem to be thriving. Bob Wells told me to not plant right away, but to wait a week before transplanting. I followed your video for the wicking protein tubs. The tubs are doing great, just the original Prime Ark Freedom plants from Bob Wells were dry sticks. I do have a few questions? What Ph are your tubs for the Prime Ark Freedom? I sure hope mine turn out half as good as yours. I do have a couple of Pineapple Guava trees in the wicking tubs and they are doing GREAT! Your videos are the best. I look forward to your updates. I live in Edna Texas and do have some mobility issues, but gardening is becoming my new thing.

If they are "Wicking Tubs" they really need "mix" If your "soil" has 50-60% Peat in it you'll probably be ok. They need to have a lot of Peat for the wicking process

Can't help with blueberries... I've never grown any. Just don't like their flavor :( Prime Ark Freedom and Ponca blackberries seem very disease resistant. Ponca: fruitgrowersnews.com/news/26601/ Freedom description from Stark Bros: "Excellent choice for home gardening or farmer’s markets. Disease-resistant to rust. Everbearing primocane. Early season. Drought tolerant. Cold-hardy. First-year canes begin ripening in July, while second-year canes bear heaviest crops in June. " Having said that... I did experience some fungus last year: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UhzfCAa53vI.html Spraying LiquaCop as directed should cure the rust.

Hey TP2 - I know this question's been asked a few times, but I wasn't super clear on your answer(s) 😄 I'm thinking about using your hybrid wicking tub idea ("this ain't panty hose or nothing" - best line ever) for blackberries. My understanding is that when you put in the soil, it will fill in around the sides and between the corrugated pipe. However if that soil goes to the bottom of the tub, below the level of the air gap, won't the roots grow down that way and then get soaked in the water? The air gap is only within the corrugated pipe, right? I'm concerned about them roots just sitting in the water until it's all wicked up. However, you (and Leon) seem to be doing it this way so ... PS: love your channel and the information! learning so much
@BIGALTX

FULL sun. Blackberries LOVE the sun, and hot humid climate doesn't seem to affect them. They might get some fungus from the high humidity, but spraying them with LiquaCop can prevent that. I'm going to spray mine as soon as all the blooms are gone. amzn.to/3dOvxC8

Hello TP2... I watch all your videos. Thanks for your efforts to educate and share your knowledge. I have a couple of questions for you. I have three Prime Ark's in a 15 gallon containers and they're doing well, but I'm thinking I should transplant them to a 25 gallon pot. What do you think? I have a feeling a 15 gallon pot won't be quite big enough. Also how many berries do you get per plant (give or take)? I've heard one bush can produce 10 lbs of fruit a season or more. Does this sound about right? Thanks once again.
@BIGALTX
@BIGALTX 2 года назад
If you can get a bigger container, I would definitely transplant. Not sure how many berries. I don't count anymore. Depends on pollination, fertilization, climate, water, soil... so many things. At one time I had about 700' of blackberries in the ground. Planted 3 to 4 feet apart. 7 rows at about 25 plants to the row. My best year... they produced about 1000 pounds of berries.

Make sure they have enough fertilizer (but not too much) and water. They are pretty thirsty. I think i give mine about 2 to 3 gallons a day in those wicking tubs It could be a fungus. Do some research and see what others think. Take some pictures and ask your Ag Extension Agent about it.

How do you think they will over winter? I know here in Texas isn’t to bad but a few days in the 20s in a damp above ground tub could be bad. I grow in tubs and raised beds but trying to over winter is a different story. That’s a lot of $$$$ blackberries and fruit trees to lose.
@BIGALTX
@BIGALTX 4 года назад
Think about it... Every nursery that sells blackberries overwinters them in pots. They don't do anything special for them. They just leave them in the pots all winter. I talked to Ed at Bob Wells Nursery. He said they will be fine in the winter. He said when it's going to be really cold, like in the teens, they will turn on the sprinklers on all their trees and berry plants to help protect them. No worries :)

I would say one. I put 2 in my Earthbox and it did well, but remember, blackberries spread by the roots. So, even if you only put one in there it should have many canes shoot up in the coming years. So, I don't think there's any advantage to having 2 in one EB... Maybe the first year, but after that, it's going to get pretty crowded even with one plant. Mine seem to be one solid mass of roots, both in the EB and in the Wicking Tubs.
