I do have berries in my small backyard and when I taste even just one piece of a ripe berry I experience pride and joy... the most wonderful feeling. Thanks for sharing your video.
The tastiest brambleberry I ever had was a Tayberry. Takes more after its rspberry parent I think. I also recently bought some Marionberries, claimed to be the "Queen of Brambleberries," but wondrous thorny!
Love your video! Thank you for the information you provided us. I am looking into starting my own patch of berries so I can make blackberry pies and all that!
I have a thornless raspberry, and it's actually more vigorous than my thorned raspberry (chilliwhack). I've been dutifully splitting off new suckers to get myself a healthy crop. But eventually I'm going to start selling the offshoots so others can enjoy them!
My brother is currently moving house and took cuttings of a boysenberry (we think) in June and put them in a big pot. It's grown like mad with tendrals stretching in every direction as tall as I am, and has already produced some berries! Mad. I like your netted trellis, will suggest that to him for the new place.
They grow and self propagate easily, even where you don't want to! Once they are established, they are almost impossible to kill. Not for the lazy gardener. Thorns, thorns and more thorns! So no thick bushes if you want to access all the fruits without dealing with them. Training them on a trellis or a fence is the way to go.
I have never tried (or heard of Bramble berry. What dies the taste compared with? Sounds good. I’m always looking for new fruits, veggies and herbs to grow. Thanks in advance! NicNic Nash, TN
Bramble berries encompass blackberries, boisenberries, loganberries, etc...each species has it's own taste. The one we grow the most of is a Sylvan berry - not the most tasty of the family, but a very heavy cropper.
Are the Sylvan less invasive? I’m in Victoria and I haven’t put in any bramble berries due to worry about escapees, less about my own garden (though that’s a factor), mainly concerned about birds spreading seed into local bush land. Definitely interested in how you manage this?
Youngberry question: I can't find the info anywhere...are they primocanes to be cut at ground level after the first year or 2nd year fruiting? Thanks for your help. I've got a handle on the popular brambles like Chilcotin, thornless blackberry etc, but not a lot of info on youngberries.
Love the video mate
I subscribed to your channel 👍
Thank you!
Berry good video. Spot on.
I have to watch my dog more than the birds . I seen her eating my blackberrys last summer.
Watching this in Brisbane and feeling very envious.

Hi John, you mention growing a Boysenberry too, how's that one coming along?
The Boysenberry would do a lot better if I gave it some attention! I have focused more on the Silvanberry and the thorn-less Blackberry.

Yes, they grow fast!

If a Blue Mountains council ranger found blackberries growing on our property we'd be ordered to remove them or be fined.
