Description
The Austin Dewberry plant is a trailing bramble related to the blackberry. The Austin Dewberry has long, creeping canes that lay on the ground. It needs support like a low trellis and/or fence or the canes will trail directly in the dirt. Dewberries are very flavorful and are commonly used to make cobblers, pies, and jellies. Dewberry plants are heat lovers and are tender in severe cold. In northern climates, canes should be laid on the ground and protected with straw over the winter. Normally this thorny-type berry ripens around 7 to 10 days before other varieties of blackberries.
