I want to know the best, reputable nursery to buy blackberries from. Who do you buy from?
Nourse is top notch.
Indiana Berry has been my go-to nursery for blackberries. All of the plants I bought from them sprouted after planting, and are still alive.
In 2018, I planted Freedom, Traveler, Osage and Ouachita. They have all produced berries since then.
Last year, I planted two Ponca, and one Caddo and Natchez. They haven’t grown too much, but I planted them a bit late (June).
I like IB because you can buy one of any of their brambles, unlike Nourse, where you have to buy 5 minimum. But, that’s not to say Nourse isn’t a good vendor. I’ve ordered strawberries from them and they did well.
Pense Nursery has the most in stock and biggest and best plants.
Nicest plants were from Double A Vineyards…but less selection.
Indiana Berry and Nourse - I think they sent me plugs… i would rather have bare root but thats me.
Simmons Plant Farm- Nice plants
Boston Mountain Nurseries- Nice plants
I ordered 40 Apache from a seller on Etsy last summer but I don’t see them listed any more. They came in so big and healthy for $4 each that I would’ve strongly recommended them.
Hartmann’s is pretty good in general and @lordkiwi might still be putting together a group order. Not a bad price per unit…
