Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Provide blackberry plants with a support to scramble up. Doing this helps keep the plant under control and makes it easy to harvest the fruits.
How to Water
Water young plants regularly throughout the first growing season and then only during dry spells once established.
How to Plant
Plant blackberries in a sheltered spot in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-draining soil. Dig in some compost or manure and dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Remove the plant from its pot and gently tease out the roots before positioning it in the hole with the top of the root ball just slightly under soil level. Backfill the hole, firming down gently, and water in well. Leave around 20cm between plants.
