Slow growing at first but takes off in spring.

Dormant most of the year then flower and fruit forming in spring, growing very fast through summer. Big juicy berries, love the taste and easy to manage plant.

How many friends have I made since I got a blackberry?!

Even this type can get away from you so keep it in a pot and keep the canes off the ground otherwise they can strike. I have mine sitting in the middle of 2 she-oaks and a gum tree and have the canes ties up all along the trees. It works really well!

The fruit aren't as sweet as the commercial ones... yet. I am hoping as the plant matures it will get sweeter.

He also doesn't seem to know the difference between the seasons - new growth and new berries in winter! :O)
