Rubus Bushel and Berry® Baby Cakes® ('APF-236T') Baby Cakes® Dwarf Thornless Blackberry: Patent PP27032 Thornless Dwarf form - perfect for containers Large, sweet berries Mid summer and again in fall 400 chill hours Category:ShrubBreeder:Bushel and Berry®Hardiness Zone:4-8Height:3-4 ftSpread:3-4 ftBloom Color:White ShadesBaby Cakes is a dwarf, thornless blackberry perfect for container gardening with its compact habit. Spring and early summer bring bright white flowers. In summer, large, sweet berries present on top of the plant in a fireworks-like spray of fruit. The plant has a somewhat round shape with upright growth reaching 3-4' in height. In most regions, this blackberry will produce twice with a mid-summer floricane crop and a mid-fall primocane crop. The later crop is sometimes inhibited by high summer temperatures so gardeners in areas with hot summers may need to rely primarily on the floricane fruit. Growing & Maintenance Tips for Rubus Bushel and Berry® Baby Cakes® Perform best in a fairly neutral soil with a pH of 6.5 – 7.5. This soil and location should also be well-drained and in full sun. If your summers are extremely hot, Baby Cakes™ will perform best in some afternoon shade to protect it from too much heat. All of the varieties in the BrazelBerries® collection will thrive in patio pots, edible gardens or in the ground for years to come. We recommend a large pot as big as 24 to 36-inches up to a half-whiskey barrel. Remember, this is a cane berry that will continue to grow shoots which will eventually fill the pot. - Brazelberries®
