Blackberries are amongst the easiest of fruiting plants to grow. There are about 300 varieties of this native UK bramble, natures very own barbed wire. If you do not already have a plant in your garden, you can either get one at your garden centre or simply dig up the root of one from any common land near you, or a road side verge. The blackberry makes long hanging runners, secure these where you want your next plant to grow and they will eventually root.

buy a LOCH NESS variety blackberry bush now in autumn and plant in a sunny position, water well until established. The good thing about this variety is : NO THORNS, and LARGE fruit. Happy growing.

There are gardening catalogues you can get bushes from mail order and obviously garden centres. They grow easily. these are the cultured kind. Not the ones that grow wild. You don't want those in you garden, they are the biggest nuisance known. They spread - and are almost impossible to get rid of. So don't do out dig up a wild one and plant that in your garden! The link is to a nursery that does the Merton thorn less one - that will save you cutting your hands to shreds picking them! £3 each plus P&P I assume.

Not sure where you live, but they usually grow out wild in fields or you can buy thornless blackberry bushes from catalogs. Plant, then watch them grow then pick.

I have the opposite problem as they try to encroach upon my garden from wasteland behind my garden.
I do cultivate a thornless variety 'Black satin' is a good thornless variety. available from website listed below. To make new plants from existing bushes push tip of growing shoot into the ground gently. Leave for a couple of months to root and hey presto you have a new plant.

you can buy them at garden centres and maybe even on eBay .......i just bought two plants and they seem to be doing OK so far............you can get thorn-less blackberry bushes which makes life easier :-) unless you are growing them as a barrier but they do take up quite a lot of room
