My Darrow blackberries should be producing this year!! I can't wait. Although, I will say that going with a thornless variety would have been a better idea, hahaha. But I use the pruned/thorny canes to keep animals away from seedlings...so there's a little lemonade out of that lemon. Holly bushes and blackberry canes are effective animal barriers for developing plants!

@Radwoem Nice idea. The idea of thorny plants as barriers is a natural permaculture approach. The Irish use briers for fences the same as Mexicans use Ocotillo. If you ever plant the thorn less blackberry try Triple Crown. It's a good one.

Great video. Where is the best place to plant blackberries, and how much sun do they need?

@MBJB07 Blackberries like a typical well drained garden location. They are generally forgiving for culture. The berries are black, they heat in the summer sun and will dry if they are in hot afternoon sun or if they are not well watered. Mine are in full sun so I keep them moist as fruit ripens.

Thanks for the tips, I don't think blackberries are as scary as I thought. Just misunderstood. :)

@littletauriel I am glad to hear that. There are no bad blackberries, only gardeners without a program. Blackberry produces some much excellent fruit and will do it much faster than fruit trees.
