Thornless Blackberry Merton
(Rubus fruticosus 'Merton')

Blackberry Merton is a fast-growing Blackberry plant, with delicious, big, black berries in the late Summer.

Blackberry Merton is a thornless, compact, self-fertile blackberry variety, ideal for small gardens and limited space. It is also easy to pick, due to being thornless, so get ready to harvest some lovely blackberries- perfect for baking or just eating fresh off the bush!

The Blackberry Merton plant is easy to maintain and grown, too, and can reach an ultimate height of 2m in good conditions.

Blackberry Merton will grow best in sunny or partially shaded positions, against a support fence or wall. Blackberries should always be planted in well-draining, moist soil, and about 2m apart- this will allow the plant to spread and establish well over time.

  • Ideal height: 1.2m - 2.5m Medium
  • Soil type: Any soil
  • Aspect: Full sun, semi-shade
  • Evergreen foliage? Semi-evergreen
  • Crops: August-September

As this is a bare root plant, soak the roots for at least 2 hours before planting, after they arrive. Plant as soon as you can. If the ground is frozen, place into a temporary pot that's filled with decent compost- once conditions have improved, move the blackberry plant to the ground.

Keep the plant well-watered during dry weather.̴Ì?

As the Blackberry Merton plant will flower on one-year-old wood, you will need to separate the new canes from the fruiting ones (old canes). After it has been harvested, cut down the fruited canes to ground level, and tie in the new canes that have just sprouted (these will be the new fruiting canes the following year).

Repeat this every year and you'll̴Ì? be gifted loads of delicious berries every year!

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
