Blackberry Mayve: A New Variety with a Unique Flavor

Blackberry Mayve is a recently developed variety of blackberry that has gained popularity for its distinctive flavor. Developed by the University of Arkansas, Mayve blackberries are known for their sweet and tart taste, with a hint of wild flavor. They are larger than traditional blackberries, with a deep purple color and a firm texture.

Growing and Care

Planting and Spacing

Blackberry Mayve plants can be grown in a variety of soil types, but they prefer well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. They should be planted in full sun or partial shade, and spaced 3 to 4 feet apart.

Watering and Fertilizing

Blackberry Mayve plants require regular watering, especially during dry spells. They should be fertilized in the spring with a balanced fertilizer. Mulching around the plants can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Pruning and Trellising

Blackberry Mayve plants should be pruned annually to encourage new growth and fruit production. They can be trained to grow on trellises or fences, which helps support the canes and improve air circulation.
