Kath says... I haven't actually eaten a thornless blackberry but have eaten kilos of the prickly blackberries that grow wild around Western NSW when I was a kid. Do the thornless ones taste different? I don't really think smuggling one into WA is the answer Lee -we have really strict quarantine for a reason-I gather you were joking? Anybody else in Perth got a thorny one or know where to get one-really after a blackberry not a loganberry as I love the flavour.

Saxman says... Hi Amanda, I have got a thornless blackberry currently in a pot which i got from Floraland Nursery on GreatEastern Hwy i think. Anyway its got some great new growth and is flowering but its only a smallish plant at this stage. So i'm playing the waiting game and looking forward to tasting the fruit- i hope its as nice as the wild variety as you say! Also have a loganberry, youngberry and one boysenberry all in pots at this stage. | About the Author Saxman Perth WA 26th September 2009 10:53pm #UserID: 2313 Posts: 33 View All Saxman's Edible Fruit Trees |

Damo says... down south black berries are a really bad weed around creek lines. The rust that was released as a biocontrol only works on the eurpoean strain of black berries. If the smooth one got out (its the american strain) and passed its resistance to the rust across then the progeny would be even worse weeds. saying that silvan berry and marion berry can be found in the hanging plastic bags in the buld section at bunnings. | About the Author Damo 28th September 2009 11:00pm #UserID: 2803 Posts: 77 View All Damo's Edible Fruit Trees |

Saxman says... Hmmm i was told by the nursery that the thornless variety was not considered a weed due to a difference in how the canes propagate and that they don't tend to spread suckers everywhere. Otherwise how would a WA nursery get in large quantities from insterstate through quarrantine etc? (I will double check with authorities.)

Jimmy says... I think it's the crossing and passing of rust resiatnce to the thorny ones not the fact that they are weedy in themselves thats the problems.

amanda says... I don't know if anyone interested - but our Bunnings had a "non-suckering" blackberry plant in yesterday!? They had all sorts (in pots) silvanberry etc etc. God knows why - as u can't grow them up here! But the blackberry is available - usually you ask them to order plants in that u want. | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.
