- If you have wild blackberry like we do in the yard, try letting it grow and training it into a hedge or bush, keep it under control and harvest your own blackberries. It's pretty easy and the summer harvest is great.
I like the idea that you use thorny branch to protect your strawberries! I used chest nutshells ( hairy outer shell, thorny too) to cover mice holes when I was young !it worked well!😄
We have Brambles that grow wild all over the UK. I just pulled one out the ground with the roots and re-potted it a couple days ago! I think its such a good idea because its a free fruit plant/bush and they will be extremely hardy to your environment. Mine hasn't died yet so we'll wait and see for the results!
Watching this while I'm eating wild blackberries from my yard
I didn't know some don't grow berries. So awesome video. I'll probably cut some out and try and water and help them. Good video
I'm trying to find out how to keep my wild blackberries pruned and when to prune them. But a couple of channels has stated you should remove the dead floral canes and get them as far away from the plants as possible because that dead vegetation attracts some kind of boring beetles and once you get those you really can't get rid of them.
Afaik blackberry canes fruit the second year, so you should only trim the canes in the fall (or after harvest) and only those ones which fruited, the canes that came out this year will fruit next year hence they should only be pruned next year after the harvest.
You can dead head them so it double the fruiting canes next year!
Ditto on 2nd year canes. But you should definitely prune1st year canes in late fall or early spring. Thin 4-6 per plant. Very important to tip prune back to 2-4'. This controls the height, but more importantly it forces the cane to slow down upright growth and put out strong, healthy lateral shoots. THAT is where the fruit will grow. Otherwise you will get tall, gangly canes with very little fruit.
Id love to plant some. Ill be getting some cutting from where i grew up Eskasoni. They grew in back yard. Lots and lots. Nuts with prickly skin grow there too
I have them growing in my yard as well, going to grow it this year but my gf is freaking out bc this plant took over her dads house lol
I have hundreds around my property in TN and I've never seen any berries. I think because of the birds. But they're basically sporadic but I used to watch them on our land in VA but they were in the woods instead of out in the open in the yard.
Love it! What a glorious plant!
I found your channel while looking for how to trim back my woody oregano. How'd yours turn out? Did it come back this year?
We have it in ourbackyard and im freakin bad about it ...especially the thorns not sure if it can eat
Wow healthy plants
how to grow from seeds , like hpw deep in the ground or should i start my black berrie plant in a flower pot i was gonna plant them straight into the ground in my back yard
I had one come up in a front corner bed and I just let it grow. It's huge now but last year the birds got them before I could.
He isn't posting anymore :'(
Gotta beat the ants
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!
We have a squirrel problem too. Also, raccoons and rats. So annoying
How did you transfer them? You can't buy wild blackberry canes. I pick them wild myself. The redness shows acidity. Then they go black, they are sweet.
Or, as my mother liked to say, "Blackberries are red when they're green."
How do you grow from wild bushes I would like to have some on my allotment do I have to dig up the root and replant it.
@@rhomanmason8131 you might try taking cuttings and rooting them in rooting hormone.
@@rhomanmason8131 just dig some shoots up with a bit or root then happy days.
lot's in the hedge growth
in England To Tina Turner Neil Diamond
sorry I couldn't help but notice all the poison ivy underneath the blackberry bushes
Go ahead and get in there! Clean it out for him! 😉
Can you take cuttings and grow these
Where do I get my hands on wild blackberry to plant?
Seriously??
how many plants are there?
what happened to this guy?
Exactly...I'm here for my strawberry patch & started watching his other videos #1yearlater
Main plant and root ball grow the 1st year.
Primocane sprouts and grows the second year.
Floricane produces fruit the 3rd year, from that point forward, primocanes become floricanes year after year. Floricanes need to be removed once they have completely produced for the season because they will never produce again…
For maximum health and fruit is is important to trim back primocanes late winter or early spring to 2-4'. This controls height, but most importantly forces the cane to put out healthy, vigorous laterals which is what will produce fruit. Otherwise you get long, leggy canes with short laterals and fewer fruits.
@@FisherCatProductions I am the only one taking care of some wild blackberry bushes growing on some middle school property. I have arthritis but spend one hour usually cutting dead branches after I take my morning walk. I have been doing this for three years now. I must be doing something right because there are plenty of berries. Nobody waters them so I do not know how they keep producing. I live in WA state.
@@bluewaters3100 They may be wild, but they do respond to some TLC. Glad your work is being rewarded!
are these blackberries or black raspberries...and yes there is a difference
These are elm leaf blackberries. Their scientific name is Rubus ulmifolius.
@@luciabreccia1901ok. i asked because a lot of people think black raspberries and blackberries are the same. Black raspberries are hollow just like their red cousins though where as blackberries are not hollow. And the black raspberry is native to north America too where as the red ones are not
@@maribethspence9458 Exactly! These are not hollow, I can confirm.
There looks like more poison ivy than blackberries 😝 Some people aren't allergic...
