I miss the blackberries I had, but don’t miss the thorns! If I get any more they’ll definitely be thornless. For now I guess I’ll just have to eat all the wild ones I come across. Thanks for the proverbs quotes and scriptures. If there’s one thing I desperately need it is wisdom!

I use the tips for blackberry leaf tea along with some other herb that suits me. Very healthy with antioxidants, antibacterial, and trace minerals

[givemeaminutetothink]

glad my instinct for primocanes was to just prune out the dead stuff, good to have it confirmed, thank you

[rogerscheuermann]

Alan, bad news from my I have thousands of blackberries on 6 plants 🌱 BUT, the birds, squirrels and chipmunks and destroying my plants. Appears I will need to buy some netting for next years crop!!!! So sad 😞 I have babysat these things for 2 years and now the critters are winning. I am just bird scare tape does not work....😢. I do have some prima canes coming and already snipping tops. Thanks for all your help throughout the

First Spring I planted Prime Ark. They really got long 10ft plus. No further blooms, but we did hit the 90° s .
Just did pruning and save some to propagate and save leaves to dehydrate for teas.
Thanks TP2

[AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

Thanks for more tips and tricks! We have about a dozen or so varieties growing in our backyard Orchard & Vineyard and all doing well here in Arizona Zone 9B! Thanks for all your help over the years! 😎

[DeanFamilyAcres]

Appreciate your tips on Prime Ark variety pruning. Trying to stay on top of it this year.

[humbledsparrows]

It's amazing how the end of winter freeze when plants were blooming, looked dismal. Now look at the blackberries, you're going to harvest this year, what a blessing.

[michellebeard]

Thank you for this! I just got blackberries for the first time this year.

[jimjam]

Exactly the video I needed to see at the right time.

Per guidance pruned my PAF primocanes just above the trellis

Cleaned up and stuck the removed tips in potting mix in the shade

[fatbuffdad]

Thank you so much for the indepth explanation. You got a new subscriber

[ruthl]

So many leaves falling to the pruning! Have you tried making blackberry leaf tea from them? I understand you want to avoid any spiny bits on the underside, though.

[patchhearts]

“…do everything right…” that tickled me, Mr. Alan!!

[robertmcmeel]

Alan, another great video on blackberries. I learn something every time you make one. I have one question, what is the life expectancy on plants in wicking tubs. Mine have been in the tubs for 5 years now and they seem to be doing ok, but it looks like they are not producing the number of new canes like they used to. I do water and fertilize them regularly. Thanks

[chrisvanderwoerd]

Perfect timing! Well, almost. My canes are about 7 feet tall now! My Earthbox berries have been producing for about 6 weeks now. Time to start some slips.

I had one of my natchez blackberry store bought shrubs I cared for 1+ years and its been cut in half.
It grew more leaves than it did most of the year after that.
I need to know how to make my natchez grow laterally. Its always too short. I see one blossom this year.

Last year it was 4-5 blossoms.
No clue what to do other than trying to grow more from seedlings which is very hard as a beginner.

I want to grow herbal plants like mint, rosemary, and perhaps sage.
I like my blackberries because it's a family treat I want to give and share.

That's why Im looking forward to applying any new techniques I can from your channel.

Even though my shrub is smaller an 12 inches all around above ground.

Thanks for your education brother! God bless you

[Lvaladez]

Oops I waited 2 long 2 🤏 they are giant 😂 8 to 10 foot tall with lateral forming at the top. I am not sure if I should try an correct this. I want to see if I get lateral all the way down the cain. I do have them tied to the trellis wire. I'll play it by ear an do better next year.

[hardstylzz]

Looking good on the primeacanes, I had few problems with bugs make a ring around the outer stem maybe cut worms, BTW I ordered 6 Black Gem primacanes from Starkbros they had a sale with free shipping.

[fomoyearsfofofiv]

The Arkansas variety canes, Ponca, I planted last year, the new canes are almost 2" through. Thickest I ever saw one be.

[avrilduvin]

This is year 4 w my bbs. They finally bloomed and have the start of tiny berries now . They are way higher than my fencing . Should I prune them after they are done producing ?
