Blackberries are the gift that keep on giving! Fairly low maintenance, productive, and tasty. And you can sell the runners for cash or give them away to spread the love!
I’ve got some blackberries planted…in a raised bed surrounded by concrete sidewalks. That way there’s some hope that they won’t spread to take over the entire yard.
Thanks for the reminder that I should definitely plant some of these. Fresh blackberry jam is heavenly! Definitely one of the most underrated berries imo
Where I am we pay to have them removed
Awesome, do you know what variety they are? They look to be thornless.
In my neck of the woods Himalayan blackberries are a super invasive pest that have to be fought tooth and nail, as other commenters mentioned. But the thornless varieties are nice!
They are the Sweetie Pie variety. I really like it, very productive and the fruit is tasty. And yes, they are thornless. I have some thorny raspberries that I made the mistake of putting in a pot where they could escape into soil below and they’ve reached out into my yard now. That was definitely a lesson learned!
