Do THIS For Big Berry Harvests #blackberries #gardentips

Blackberries and raspberries are considered self pollinating, because you don’t need to plant multiple varieties. However, they need insect pollination or hand pollination if you’re growing in a greenhouse. Berry blossoms are highly attractive to pollinators, but it helps to have other things blooming nearby. Flowers and herbs, like columbine, thyme, hyacinth, iris, phlox, hellebores, violets, clover, and daffodils are just a few.

this is why I planted my blackberries and raspberries next to my pollinator Garden this is a Blackberry blossom in order for the fruit to properly form pollen from the anthers that’s these little brown dots has to get transferred to the stigmas that’s these little hairs in the center each of those pollinated stigmas will form one bump or drupelet on the fruit so each of those blossoms need to be visited by pollinators multiple multiple times in order for that fruit to properly form so plant things nearby that also attract pollinators especially things that are blooming the same time as those berries
