The presence of thorns is perhaps the primary reason that keeps people from picking blackberries, but Baby Cakes solves this problem in a big way.

Why not simply stay scratch-free and harvest blackberries from your own thornless Baby Cakes Blackberry plant? Picking blackberries can be a hazardous undertaking as you carefully reach through the sharp thorns to pluck the berries. If you protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and gloves, you’ll quickly discover that it’s hard to pick blackberries while wearing bulky gloves. Your fun outing to gather blackberries ends up giving you more painful scratches on your hands and arms than sweet berries in your basket.

And then wait for the encore – another crop that begins ripening in mid-autumn for a late-season finish!
