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.

Zones
USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a rough guide for landscaping and gardening, defines 13 zones by long-term average annual extreme minimum temperatures. It has been adapted by and to other countries (such as Canada) in various forms. A plant may be described as "hardy to zone 10": this means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of −1.1 to 4.4 °C (30 to 40 °F).
