Posted on July 16, 2006

We live in Valpo and my father in law has some blackberry bushes that he wants me to take. When is best time to transplant them?

Answer:
Blackberries are hard to kill so anytime except during the mid summer heat and dry would be OK. The proper and best time would be fall after September 10th. Don't wait too late as we want them to have some establishment time before winter comes on. Chuck
