Bushel and Berry® Baby Cakes® Blackberry Plant

Baby Cakes® Blackberry delivers two separate harvests from one compact, thornless plant — large, sweet, firm blackberries from floricanes in July, then a second primocane crop that continues from September through the first frost. Most blackberry varieties give you one window. Baby Cakes® gives you two, from a tidy 3-4 foot upright plant that thrives in a container on a patio, porch, or entryway as easily as it does in the ground. No trellis, no thorns, no sprawling canes to manage. Self-pollinating, bears in 1-2 years. Part of the Bushel and Berry® program.

May be covered by USPP #27,032 or other patents. APF-236T cultivar.

Two Harvests — July Floricanes and September Through Frost Primocanes

The double harvest is what makes Baby Cakes® genuinely different from standard compact blackberry varieties. The July floricane crop produces large, sweet, firm blackberries from the previous season’s canes. Then the primocane crop follows in September, producing fresh berries continuously through the first hard frost on the current season’s new growth. For home gardeners who want fresh blackberries across the full summer and into fall from a single container planting, that two-harvest calendar is the practical advantage no single-season variety can match.

Container-Ready — Patio, Porch, or Garden

At 3-4 feet tall and wide, Baby Cakes® is genuinely sized for container growing. A large pot with quality potting mix, full sun, and consistent moisture is all it needs to produce generous annual harvests in any climate where it can be brought indoors before frost. The upright, self-supporting canes require no trellis or training, and the thornless habit makes harvest and handling comfortable from first berry to last.

Large, Sweet, Firm Berries — Outstanding for Every Use

The large, glossy, firm blackberries from both harvest windows are sweet and richly flavored — outstanding for fresh eating straight off the cane, baking in pies and cobblers, freezing for year-round use, and making jams and preserves where the firm texture produces excellent results.
