Cropping on the current season’s wood, Montblanc® is the earliest primocane blackberry available. The strongly upright canes are robust and can be tipped at 50cm to generate additional growth. The berries ripen in late August and are very large, aromatic and well flavoured. This compact plant is recommended for small gardens.

Plant in a sunny position with free draining soil. If you have chalky, sandy or heavy clay soil, improve with plenty of bulky organic matter before planting. Allow spacings from 2m to 3.5m per plant and support the stems using framework or train against a trellis or wall. Apply a layer of organic mulch annually ensuring that this is not too close to the new growth to prevent rotting. In autumn, prune the canes which have fruited to ground level whilst the canes which have not fruited should be ‘tied in’ to their supports.
Potted bushes are available from our nursery all year round. The prices listed are for quantities per thousand, if you wish to place a smaller order please get in contact with a member of the team.
