Description

Sweetie Pie Blackberry is a true garden gem, combining early ripening, exceptional sweetness, and eye-catching ornamental value. As one of the first blackberries to bear fruit, Sweetie Pie is perfect for extending your harvest window or getting a head start on fresh summer flavors. Its berries are remarkably sweet, making them ideal for fresh eating, baking, pies, muffins, and jams.

This heavy-bearing, mid-season variety doesn’t just taste good, it looks good too. In spring, it bursts into fragrant white blooms that attract bees and other pollinators, adding beauty and life to your garden. With excellent cold hardiness (to −10°F) and heat tolerance, Sweetie Pie is a reliable performer across Zones 6–10. Its compact size and versatility make it perfect for raised beds, containers, and backyard gardens alike. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned grower, Sweetie Pie makes blackberry growing simple and rewarding.

Growing Information

Sweetie Pie Blackberry thrives in USDA Zones 6–10 and is cold hardy down to −10°F. It performs best in rich, well-drained, acidic soil with a pH of 4.5–5.5, and appreciates consistent, moderate moisture—mulching is recommended to retain soil hydration. This deciduous plant grows to a manageable 4–6 feet tall and wide, and should be spaced 4–6 feet apart. Sweetie Pie loves full sun, though it will tolerate partial shade, and is especially well-suited for containers and raised beds. With proper care, it produces an abundance of berries and vibrant spring blooms that attract pollinators and boost biodiversity in your garden.

Sweetie pie. I can't believe these other reviews.

The plugs are grown in a greenhouse environment, and mine were transplanted in in a 2 gallon nursery container in my greenhouse and within one week new growth is coming in. Apparently these so-called experienced gardeners know nothing about propagation and plug care.
Wonderful strong little plugs and taking off in my greenhouse

I will order nothing more from Hoss Seeds

Ordered 12 sweetie pie BlackBerry plugs. 3 have already died and more are dying. I am a very experienced Gardner and provide proper soil for the plugs and planted them properly. They get proper sunlight, proper soil and proper watering but jade dying one by one. Wasted money. Going to plant established plants from another company. Buyer beware.

Will not order blackberry plugs again

Ordered 12 plugs. 9 survived and 4 shrivel up and died. I am replacing the dead plugs with actual 2 gallon plants. Don’t recommend the plugs. I am a very experienced gardener.

These were green with a few leaves when they arrived. Turned brown in a day.
