The Austin Mays blackberry is called a "dewberry" by many growers, because it does not grow erect or semi-erect like other blackberries, however, the vines can climb to some extent above older canes which is desirable in keeping the berries lifted out of the dirt.
The berry produced from the Austin Mays Dewberry vine can be used to make delicious cakes.

Austin Mays Blackberry plants normally thrive in very poor soils that are well drained, but a little 8-8-8 fertilizer sprinkled above the vines in the Fall will increase the size and number of the berries.
