The Austin Dewberry is  very similar to blackberries, but its canes lay more on the ground and are easier to work on a fence. Prune and train same as blackberries. Has slender thorns.

The Austin Dewberry produces large crops of berries.

Well adapted to the heat, tender in the cold winter climates. In northern climates the vines should be laid on the ground and protected for the winter with straw or other material.

Early Season in warmer climates. Late May – June, the fruiting period extends 30 to 45 days.

Fruit yields 2-4 quarts.

Zones: 6-9

Needs some support otherwise it will trail on the ground. It does not grow erect or semi-erect like other blackberries, however, the vines can climb to some extent above older canes which is desirable in keeping the berries lifted out of the dirt.
