- Did you know about Thornless Blackberries? Yes, its a thing!
They're huge,sweet, and easy to pick... no gloves required. This week I'll show you how to grow this variety of berry, and I'll cover a few ways to support them in your garden.
We'll also be talking about how to prune for maximum fruit production, and how to propagate them to share the love with friends and neighbours!
Many questions about Thornless Blackberries are on my sequel - Thornless Blackberries 2: • How To Grow Thornless ... - Jak na to + styl
Thank u for not having music to interfere with ur teaching!
''PASS ON THE LOVE''...I like that👍😊👍❤
I've been banging my head off the wall for two years trying to come up with a trellis idea. I love the really high one you showed. I'm going to steal that idea. T.Y.
YES! Steal away Michael.
No bs, straight to the points. Well done and thank you very much. I'm a subscriber now.
Love he’s talking about berries and has a pineapple shirt.
I guess I'm a champion of all fruit :)
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Amos Ismael Instablaster :)
@Brooks Jalen i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Brooks Jalen It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
One of the best gardening videos I've seen!!! Great content!
Put little flags on, or just keep visual track of smaller numbers of the canes that are fruiting, and you can prune them in late summer or even after harvest. They are already on their way to death and pruning early prevents the risks of over wintering any disease or fungus that they could contract or harbor. Looking great!
Good idea - early pruning can be a great way to ensure healthier, disease free plants!
Best blackberry video I have seen, excellent presentation. Thank you.
good news - I'm glad you liked it !
Hi Stacey, I remember coming to your house more than 20 years ago to a bible study with JD. I'm still here in Victoria and growing figs and other fruit trees on a rooftop garden next to my apartment building. Cheers,
Hi John - that's a blast from the past. Thanks for re-connecting!

Best video. Thanks for showing the various options and planting methods.
Just found you! Subscribed and will be planting thornless blackberries in the spring!
Thank you so much for this video!
I wish you were my neighbor, so I could get some plants from you. I love blackberries.
@ Amanda Gochenour, why not just order a plant from a nearby nursery? Well worth the small investment.
I never comment on videos. But needed to tell you how helpful this video is. Thank you. Don't stop sharing your knowledge plz, you explain so clearly with everything one would want to know. Subscribed. x

I've just recorded a 2nd Thornless Blackberry video. It will be out before long.
Awesome. Learned everything I need to know to grow, prune, graft & harvest my thornless blackberry plants. Thank you!!
You're welcome!
WOW how amazing- thank you for the clear explanation. I am getting my allotment in London (UK) next week so collecting lots of ideas for my patch. Will keep coming back for more ideas :)
Good luck collecting ideas and inspiration. Thanks for the encouragement!

Wow! Incredible!
Very helpful and straight forward. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I'm so excited to grow these on our cattle panel arch!
Hi Rachel - great idea! That will work very well :)
Just found your videos and appreciate the simplicity
I'm glad we found each other :)
Welcome to the channel!
Thanks for the great tips! Fantastic video!
I'm glad it was helpful Jose. You're welcomel!
Loved the video. You explained so well. I'm waiting to get my hands on a Blackberry from the nursery the next time. I've subscribed. Great job.
Great to hear Nevelle!
Thanks for subbing
Thanks for the tips
i always found all i wanted wild in south carolina bush is about 4 ft tall they come in clusters start looking early spring you can see white blooms on the bush near a creek or steam is best we use those ice cream buckets fasten to you belt so you have both hands free
Good note Frank. Where I live (west coast of BC in Canada) they are wild and invasive. Vicious thorns, long vines and delicious fruit. I pick wild as well but generally need pruning shears and protective gear unless i can find a fenceline that they're growing over!
Thornless are well . . . thornless and the berries are double or triple the size of the wild ones :)
Great video, thanks!
Good job my friend, amazing work. Happy for you. Blessings.
Thank you very much & blessings to you.
Awesome, thanks!
I have wild blackberries all over my property, but you talked me into getting some of these. Planted six new TC's in the garden not long ago. Can't wait til next year! Thank a bunch for all the tips in both of your videos.
You're very welcome Jon.
I talked you into it - love it!
Highly informative and clear, easy to understand presentation. Just subscribed. Timely tips for my second year thornless blackberry plants that are fruiting right now. Thank you
Welcome aboard! Good luck as you continue to grow :)
Nice I just put in a big trellis for my blackberry something to look forward to next season 👍
Awesome - that will be very rewarding to watch grow and produce. Good luck !
This was a fantastic video. I'm not sure how long you have been doing this but it is delightfully put together and informative. Thanks for the tutorial and best of luck!
Thanks Mark. I'm glad you found it informative.
Very informative, no faff and interesting. Thank you! 😁
Glad you enjoyed!
Tremendously informative and interesting video. Subscribed! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the sub.
Blessings on your fall Drew.
thanks for the video
Thank you so much. Excellent video. You're a great teacher. You don't give us all your personal blah blah blah. Awesome video!
Thanks Ani!
The first time i watch all planting video without any skip =))) brief, direct and easy to remember. Thank so much
That's an encouraging comment - I'm glad you liked the video!
@@SustainableStace i live in zone 10b. Never have a frost during the winter, (but the temperature can be around 50F). In summer, maybe 110F and humid. I still have the berries, but they definitely work better in winter. Blackberries re the winners all the time, very strong even in summer, about 15ft. Raspberries grow with half the speed of blackberries.
I always have fruit during winter-spring. Perhaps as I have no idea about pruning, they re not so productive. I don't know when to cut it down because of no dormant period.
When it s hot, only blackberries n strawberries can flourish. However, i wish i could have fruit for icecream in hot weather.
I had no idea this kind of thornless blackberry even existed and now I can't wait to try and grow some!! thanks! 😁
Oh YES, I'm glad you're inspired to do this!
Just found your channel. Love the video , looking forward to my plant growing and filled with berries.
Welcome to the channel! Good luck growing :)
Shalom! I have enjoyed your plentiful great information on thornless Blackberries. I will certainly become a better gardener for gleaming from your expertise. Thank you so much and Blessings to you and yours.
Thank you so much! I just bought 2 blackberry plants and 2 raspberry plants and this video was extremely helpful and informative.
Hi Danielle,
I'm glad you found this video helpful. I have a second one which may come in handy - answering questions that arise over time: czcams.com/video/6zh5OVXjROo/video.html
wishing you well :)
Stace
Best video I've seen on Triple Crown BB. I grow TC on my fence and they are absolutely amazing. Thanks for the knowledge.
Great feedback - thanks for the encouragement!
Loved the overhead trellis idea. TC grow so vigorously that its a great idea to just send them up up and up.
Yes indeed!
Thank you. I just planted 60 Thornless. I feel better about my decision.
Whoa - with 60 plants you will have a belly and freezers full of fresh berries. That's awesome :)
Thank you. New to growing blackberries. My plants are in honor of my love ones fighting cancer and having learned the benefit blackberries have with the fight. Just planted two months ago and they have really sprouted.
Sounds like a powerful connection to people you love. Blessings as you grow!
Great video. I just bought two plants. This was helpful
right on - happy growing!
Fantastic information ~ Thank You ⭐️
Oooh - i'm glad you liked it Rhonda. You're welcome.
Awesome. I grow them. Best berry crop
I love this!
Wow! Great information! I got some small Thornless blackberries and transplanted them this your to a new location. Your video had some great information!! I can't wait to see the FRUITS of my Labor LOL!
Well done Steve! Within the next month or two I'll release another video on thornless blackberries with additional info.
@@SustainableStace Well that is awesome! I cant believe how productive they can be! Thanks for the response. It means alot! I look forward to your video coming up!
Great information. I purchased a few triple crowns about 8 years ago and have had an abundance of fruit. I also have given away many many plants to friends and strangers. They do make great gifts. The jelly and wine they produce is delicious.
Fantastic to hear Chris. Welcome to the channel & thanks for sharing!
excellent info! thank you
You're welcome Dave - I'm glad it was helpful!
Really enjoyed the 2 methods you grow your thornless blacberries! Will be coying your methods. I grow the Triple Crown's. Did them on a pergola-style support, 5 foot high. We pulled the canes down and roped them to the cross pieces of the pergola, not cutting off the height. Then we tried cutting them at 6 foot, but the length still was too much. Have to move the plants (not sure how they'll like that!) So now will be doing it your way, now I found you. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing what you've done with yours. I think that if you moved them while they were dormant they'll take off like a rocket when growing season arrives!
Great vid
this is SO helpful, thanks!
I'm glad you find it helpful! Thanks for letting me know :)
Thank you very much! It was very helpful as I just planted mine last season and I need to know wht to do this summer. Great video. very inspiring and enouraging.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for the great video
I'm glad you enjoyed it Maily - you're welcome!
this sight filled me with awe. just got a small one, but it has thorns, so we'll see...
Thank you for the information! I just picked up (4) thornless blackberry plants and hoping to get results like you have in your garden. I also have (4) blueberry plants that are doing quite well and hoping my (2) fig trees will start producing soon. Keep up the great job and I’m about to check out more of your videos.
DIY Gaines which state do you live in? I am in South Mississippi and the blueberry plants are doing well, but my fig trees are growing slowly.
Great video. Blackberries are the easiest fruit you can grow. I bought ONE thornless plant from the Cal Poly Pomona farm store years ago and now have about 8 and they are doing amazing. Very easy to care for and super productive.
Yes - great to hear!
Thanks to your video, I just ran out in the morning and bought 2 pots of Triple Crown blackberries to grow in my backyard chicken run. Thank you!
Fantastic. You'll likely need to protect the soil around the roots of the plants so that the chickens don't scratch around too much - they tend to go hard after loosened soil. If you can figure that you, I think you'll be laughing!
Sustainable Stace I grow my blackberries on the outside of the fence of my chicken run (thanks to your enthusiastic and awesome video) the roots are hidden on the outside of the fence posts, where the chickens inside the chicken run cannot get to. As the canes grow, supported over my vast fencing, we can harvest and eat the fruits. What we neglect to harvest, will be automatic fodder for my chickens who are inside the chicken run.
outstanding video man
Thanks Jake - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
thanks for the gr8 tips!..
You're welcome :)
Love your vids & what a great Blackberry spread! I planted a thornless Black Satin Black erry bush just to see what it will do & it is growing sooooo happily with lots of new vines so quickly. We harvested a few berries already & they are the best blackberries I've ever eaten! they are sooo sweet & flavorful! Thank you for the information you share. I find your videos to be great resources & appreciate that you get right to the point with no fluff. 😊
Thanks Kelly - fluff free gardening !
I have a black satin i bought last year. Are they really big fruit? I can hardly wait for them to crop this year.
Thank you, great video
Hi Peter - Glad you liked it!
Awesome.
Great energy awesome job on the video. Cheers
Thank you for this information. I just got 2 on clearance so I'm hoping they do well to add to my food sources.
Fantastic - good luck with those 2 !
@@SustainableStace thank you
enjoyed the video. a lot of info.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Very good video.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for this video. Very informative. I just bought two thornless black berry plants and trying to figure out where to plant them and how to take care of them. Your video took care of 1 part. Now just need to learn how and where is the best place to plant them.

Happy Gardening
Thanks for the sub !
There's a second video to help out further on the thornless beauties: czcams.com/video/6zh5OVXjROo/video.html
blessings on your growing efforts.
If you have a climate that sometimes has cooler, wet summers, (as here in the NL) make sure you cut open the plant so that the sun can reach in. (specially in the bulky trellis form). Otherwise a mould can ruin the fruit that is not exposed to the sun. Mine doesn't propagate under the ground, but when the normal shoots touch the ground for a period, it gets roots and you can do it that way. 2 plants, 10-15kg annually, with once every 5 year a failed crop due to mould or very late frost. I use the same plastic wrapped wire 🙂 Main uses: pancakes and jam. The jam is made with high pectin sugar,(75% fruit over-all). Add other kinds of fruit like loganberry,black/red currant for variation, specially 10-30% black currant is nice.
I just put in my first thornless blackberries either Apache or triple crown and within the first year I had four blackberries each. A surprising start your video has me so excited about what’s going to happen in the future and how many berries I’m gonna have I have about eight blackberry bushes some thorns some nut.
It's going to be amazing! Happy growing.
My Navaho bb bush "littered" babies all over my garden!
This is awesome
Thanks - I'm glad you like it !
I’m in Malaysia & I just got a thornless blackberry… it grows well here & thanks for your tips
Ooh, that's great to hear. Thanks Tarence !

Thanks for the knowledge on blackberries. Im takin on my 1st plant this year.
Hi Yvonne, thanks for being in touch. Wishing you a successful season!
Count me in too. I just bought my first thornless blackberry plant today, now I just need to decide where in my yard I want to plant it. I'm subscribed.
@@mangeload good luck with yours! Ive already had 2 berries turn black! So exciting!!!
thanks
You're welcome Poodle Daddles!
Perfect
Yes, they are wonderful !
They also sell that wire at Christmas for decorations.
Great video, I really enjoyed the explanation and wish I was your neighbor 😃
Thanks Raul - I'm glad it was helpful.
I can let you know when property becomes available :)
Thanks, ...that helped a lot. I just planted 3 Triple Crown blackberry plants about a month ago.
I planted a small orchard of these last year. I got my first small harvest the first year. You are going to love these. They are sweet with just the right amount of tart. SO GOOD.
I mulched with woodchips and compost the pee-tar out of them and buried several chicken eggs near each plant. About a foot away (eggs), or so. I didnt fertilize other than that. I let the birds have the fruit this year. They are doing fantastically this year.
Can you plant them now?
@@organicinohio5398 I am in Tennessee and I can still plant them.
@@ShotgunAndAShovel You are so lucky then! I'm in NEOhio and I guess I will wait till spring. Thank you for answering me and enjoy your blackberries!
Man....I finally get it. Good video
Fantastic, I'm glad the video could help!
