An awesome video that in inspired me to do it myself. I used the tip layering method and turned my single blackberry plant into 9 new ones. I did a brief video on my results the other day, mine are a thornless variety. Can't wait to see how they develop. Thanks I just subscribed.
Fantastic! I love propagating blackberries and giving them away and planting out in the woods! I’m glad this video was helpful and would enjoy seeing your progress! Thanks for watching!
Is it still this easy to tip layer if a cane is turning into hard wood already? I guess I should have researched before I did it! Thanks for the simple and direct instructions. It's great to see roots developing through the clear, recycled containers. Also appreciate the mellow vibe of this video; some of the other TH-cam gardeners are constant talkers and can be so distracting.
I appreciate your comment! I keep it calm and easy to follow! I always tip layer the first year canes and mostly only use ones that are easy to get into the container. I find the trailing varieties like the Natchez blackberry to be easier to propagate. They bend easily to reach containers or even over to the ground at an open area to start new plants! Let me know how your tip layer goes! Thanks for watching!
Hi! My tip layer has rooted, yay and thank you! My question now is, in your video, the first portion which is about tip layering, you cut the cane about four nodes up. Will new growth emerge from those nodes, or did you leave that there for the leaves that will hopefully help grow a new steam from down in the soil? I am pretty familiar with various plants and an fairly experienced gardener, but not so much with canes and they seem a mystery to me.
@@wendylinyeh1402 Howdy! That’s exciting! I enjoy propagating my blackberries and raspberries and I hope you’re able to multiply many for yourself! The cane that is left over from the cut should eventually flower and produce some berries. Eventually, the new plant will also send up new canes from under the soils and those will grow as normal! Thanks for watching! I hope your blackberry plants thrive! What else are you growing?
@TheTexasGardener What if the canes are growing stiff and straight up and won't bend down? If you force it and the cane gets a fold in it, will that kill the cane, or will it still work?
Cool. This looks too simple for me to screw up. My blackberry is just starting to bud so I may wait but would definitely rather do this to shorten it than throw out cuttings while pruning. (I tried to plant the cuttings but they died)
I have successfully used tip layering just about all year long except when they slow down in winter. I’ve tip layered in the spring, all summer and late into the fall. If the canes are the right length and doing well then I will tip layer! Thanks for watching!
I usually wait between 4-6 weeks depending on how well the cane is doing. If the leaves are plenty and you lift up on the cane softly and you feel the resistance of the roots then you can separate. Of course waiting longer is better to give roots more time to strengthen! Thanks for watching!
Can you tip layer anytime in the summer after they've produced berries? I'm north of you up in Missouri. Our first frost is usually a week or so before Halloween.
I have a boysenberry plant that will be 1 year old soon. I have tip rooted one cane but is it ok for me to cut the cane off? My plant is too young to bear any fruit yet so i dont want to cut anything that would have grown berries. Im very new to this and want to do it correctly.

Awesome 😃
Gave a big thumbs up 👍 Thank you for sharing this technique 🎉🙏 Going to be tip layering after the vacation..
Let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
@@TheTexasGardener You're Welcome.. I will do today 🎉 Happy Growing

I can’t wait to try this in the garden with my son❤. Cheers to a healthy harvest🎉.-Dave
Let me know how it goes and thanks for watching!
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Are you growing any blackberries this year? Thanks for watching!
Awesome video!
Thanks for commenting and watching!

Very clear , great instruction!
Thank you! Are you growing any blackberries? Thanks for watching!
Wow, great video, thank you!
Glad you found it! Are you growing any blackberries? Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this information!
Are you tip layering any blackberries this season? I hope it helped and thanks for watching!
Great!!thank you
Thanks for watching!

Tip layering works well for me and I give away a lot of blackberry plants each year! Give it a try and let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
When is the best time to do tip layering? How late in the season can you do this so that they will all come back next spring?
I have successfully used tip layering just about all year long except when they slow down in winter. I’ve tip layered in the spring, all summer and late into the fall. If the canes are the right length and doing well then I will tip layer! Thanks for watching!
When do you separate the blackberries from each other with the serpentine method?
I usually wait between 4-6 weeks depending on how well the cane is doing. If the leaves are plenty and you lift up on the cane softly and you feel the resistance of the roots then you can separate. Of course waiting longer is better to give roots more time to strengthen! Thanks for watching!
Does it take two years from the time you tip rooted the Blackberry branch, or does it fruit the 2 years after propagating???
If you tip root the cane it will fruit later that season or the next season if it’s after July. What variety are you growing? Thanks for watching!
Can you tip layer anytime in the summer after they've produced berries? I'm north of you up in Missouri. Our first frost is usually a week or so before Halloween.
Yes you can. However, I tip layer the primocanes (1st year canes) and find that works better for me. Thanks for watching!
can you do this in the heat of the summer? im in phoenix
Absolutely!
I have a boysenberry plant that will be 1 year old soon. I have tip rooted one cane but is it ok for me to cut the cane off? My plant is too young to bear any fruit yet so i dont want to cut anything that would have grown berries. Im very new to this and want to do it correctly.
As long as it’s been rooted for a while then should be fine. Thanks for watching!
Can this method be used in mid July in zone 9?
Yes. Thanks for watching!
