Snowbank Blackberry is a truly unique blackberry variety prized for its creamy white to pale pink berries and classic blackberry flavor. While its color sets it apart, Snowbank still delivers the mild, sweet taste gardeners expect from traditional blackberries. This eye-catching variety is a great conversation starter in the garden, yet earns its place with dependable yields and hardy growth. Snowbank is a floricane-fruiting blackberry, producing fruit on second-year canes, and is well suited for backyard growers and homesteaders looking for something different without added complexity.

Growing Information

🌱 Plant Type: Blackberry (floricane / summer-bearing)
🌱 Hardiness Zones: 4–8
🌱 When to Plant: Early spring, as soon as soil can be worked
🌱 When to Harvest: Early to mid-summer (fruit is produced on second-year canes)

Cultivation Tips

• Soil requirements: Plant in well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Avoid soggy areas to prevent root issues.
• Sunlight: Full sun (6–8+ hours per day) for best fruit size and sweetness.
• Watering: Water regularly, especially during flowering and fruiting. Consistent moisture helps prevent small or dry berries.
• Harvesting: Berries are ready when they turn creamy white with a slight pink blush and pull easily from the plant. Harvest every few days during peak season.
• Pruning: After harvest, remove spent second-year (floricane) canes at ground level. In late winter, thin and tidy first-year canes to keep the patch manageable.
• Trellising: Not required, but trellising helps keep canes upright, improves airflow, and makes harvesting easier.
• Additional information: Snowbank has thorny canes, so gloves are recommended. Like most blackberries, plants will spread over time—great for building a productive berry row, but be sure to allow adequate space.
