Description

The listing, 25 Seeds - Organically Grown Blackberry Bushes has ended.

You are bidding on 25 seeds of my Organically Grown Blackberry Seeds.

***I grow the same seed I sell, so I know just how great these are!

MY SEEDS ARE HEIRLOOM, NON-GMO, Open pollinated, hand harvested and hand sorted!!!

1) Much like spinach, raisins, apples, plums and grapes, blackberries are rich in bioflavonoids and Vitamin C, but other nutritional benefits include a very low sodium count and having only 62 calories to a cup.
2) The dark blue color ensures blackberries have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all fruits. Antioxidants, well-known for lowering the risk of a number of cancers, are a huge bonus, but be aware the berries are best consumed in their natural state to get the full benefits.
3) The berries are known by a variety of names, which include brambleberries, bramble, dewberry, thimbleberry and lawers.
4) Consumption of blackberries can help to promote the healthy tightening of tissue, which is a great non-surgical procedure to make skin look younger. Prolonged consumption also helps keeps your brain alert, thereby maintaining clarity of thought and good memory.
5) The high tannin content of blackberries provides a number of benefits to reduce intestinal inflammation, alleviate hemorrhoids and soothe the effects of diarrhea. It is important to incorporate berries in your diet in a variety of ways. Have them as a snack or in your cereal or even as a smoothie.
6) Traditionally, the leaves and barks of the plant have also been consumed. The leaves of blackberries have been used to treat mild inflammation of the gums and sometimes even sore throats.
7) The astringent tannins are effective in oral hygiene when used as a gargle or mouthwash.

And lets not forget, They taste Great!!

Seeds will ship via USPS usually within 24 hours of the end of the auction and my receipt of your Listia approved address.
Questions & Comments

Hi there, I have 2 questions...
1. Is this a variety suitable for container planting? I do have very large containers, I just don't have an area to plant directly into the ground.
2. How long from seed to harvest, approximately? (Or is this a type that needs to be established for a year before fruiting?)
Thanks!

Hi, These do really well in containers, I grow so that way myself. Like any blackberry grown from seed you may get some first year fruit but that is not very likely - year two however is different. I have 5 of these and during peak harvest I get about a pint per day!
