Blackberry Bushel and Berry™ Baby Cakes™

Bushel & Berry® Baby Cakes® Blackberry (Rubus ‘APF-236T’) is a dwarf, thornless primocane blackberry perfect for containers, patios, and compact landscapes. Sporting a tidy, rounded habit, it produces large, sweet black berries on erect canes, delivering two harvests—in midsummer on floricanes and again in early autumn on primocanes. After a spring flush of delicate white blossoms, lush green foliage emerges, and the plant continues fruiting until frost. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Baby Cakes® is low-maintenance and self-pollinating. Hardy in Canadian zones 4–8, it’s ideal for gardeners seeking abundant fresh berries in small spaces. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
