Blackberry Jam Fruit Tree

English Names: Blackberry Jam Fruit, Jasmin de Rosa

The Blackberry Jam Fruit tree is a small, ornamental shrub that thrives in warm climates and produces unique, sweet fruit that tastes remarkably like blackberry jam. The glossy, dark green leaves add beauty year-round, while fragrant white flowers bloom before the fruit appears. The small, round, purple-black fruits mature quickly and have a sweet, jam-like flavour, making them a favourite for fresh eating or adding to desserts.

This hardy tree grows well in Perth and prefers a warm, sunny spot with well-drained soil. It is perfect for pots or small gardens, reaching a manageable height with regular pruning. Fruit appears within 2–3 years, making it a fast reward for minimal effort.

In Perth Metro, sometimes plants in full exposure will die down during a cold winter and come back from the roots in early summer. To keep plants healthy during winter move pot in greenhouse or indoor and provide less water in winter.

Features:

Ideal prune height range: 1.5–2m

pH growing conditions: 5.5–7.0

Interesting notes: The fruit’s sweet, jam-like flavour makes it a conversation starter, and the plant is highly ornamental even when not fruiting.

To produce more fruits plants do better in group of 3 or more.
