- Blackberries are easily propagated. In this video I'm going to use my thornless Triple Crown blackberry plant to show you how to tip layer blackberries and get massive root growth in a short amount of time.
Tip layering is on old time method that is tried and true for blackberry propagation. With this method you will still get clones of the parent plant which will allow you to get free blackberries for the rest of your life.

I’m glad I’m not the only person to talk to my plants😂
You're not alone, Rebecca, lol
I just did this to my apartment building's blackberry bush. It's not a month in yet, but I saw small roots forming. Thank you so much for this!!
Awesome!
it grew upside down!!! I would never have thought that would work. But it did! Thanks so much for all these videos. I get just as excited as you do watching it work!
You're so welcome!
HOLY CRAP THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!! Just tried it out with a bunch of blackberry/Rubus bushes in an empty lot near my parents, and a month later they're all rooted!!
Heck yeah it works! LOL
@@MikeKincaid79 Tip layering doesn't work for me. I just tried it with my blackberry, along with standard dirt rooting and water rooting. All methods failed. They turn black, then it starts spreading upwards. It looks like rot. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Are you supposed to keep the soil moist when tip layering or dry?
THANK YOU SO MUCH! That was a brave thing you did, digging it up just for us. The roots look fabulous!
Thanks, Linda, and so glad you enjoyed it!
thanks mike. just getting into the blackberry plants. Doing this because of my grandson loves blackberries I love to play with plants. I have only 2 plants and they are doing really good, even have blooms and berries. Just need to learn more.
Thank you so much. I was thinking this was the way it would work as the blackberries keep rooting themselves in the raised bed.
thank you! i have a thorny blackberry growing right by my front door. I need to trim it back of course, to get in and out of my house. but before I do, now i can take a cutting and keep a part of the plant!
Excellent video!!!
I set a blackberry pot on the ground and it attached itself to the dirt through the holes in the pot. Since then, it has branched out left and right beside my house and gotten longer. Some have worked their way through the netting and there is no way to get them out without cutting the net or cutting the branch back. Knowing I can root those errant branches makes me feel less guilty about eventually trimming them back because I can still plant them in a suitable place and not lose them. Thanks for the easy and descriptive video and the encouragement.
Mike! Your video's never disappoint! Your injury did not stop you from achieving your goals!
Video ideas!
Update tour of nursery and home plants?
Grafting experiments!
Organic fertilizer- pee video was epic!
New verities of plants care.
Dwarf citrus trees in containers?
Collaboration with other fellow Gardeners! 🙂
Thanks for the ideas! I love new ideas and take them all into consideration. Wish I didn't have to go back to work, otherwise I'd be able to just keep cranking out videos. Someday.
Oh I LOVE this video!! Thank you, can’t wait to watch more of your videos! Totally sharing already!! 👍❤️😂
Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome to the family!
Wow! That was so cool! I never knew that about blackberry plants! I cant wait to get mine started now!
These things are fun to propagate, have fun with it this summer!
never fail to amaze me little brother, you still the man.
Thanks Melvin.
Can't wait to get more blackberries. Thanks for the video
Enjoy football Sunday, Mark!
@@MikeKincaid79 go Seahawks beat them saints.
Thank you! Now, I'll be able to take some of my blackberries with me when I move. Yippie!
Have fun with it!
Excellent advice and well presented. Thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it, Tambie!
You did perfect-I have the same-this year they r growing gang buster🤗
thank you so much for this information. I just got some Chester Thornless and this is perfect for showing me how to make more.
Living in south central Florida, I've struggled to find very hardy breeds of blackberry from nurseries near me that can stand the heat. But there are wild blackberries not far from me, I may just try your method and attempt to bring it back to my property! Thanks so much
Good luck!
Lowe’s
I keept a baby alive all year from our spot in the Pacific Northwest ... It's growing new leaves I hope I can keep it alive for ever !!
Try dewberries...I see em everywhere in ne FL
They are thorned and wild but yeah
PrimeArc Freedom works good in central Florida
For all the times that I've attempted to propagate my Blackberry plant and failed... THANK YOU for this video!
Have fun!
I have blackberries growing along my fence outside, growing wild, I just ripped up a few of the first year canes, not too much roots on them, about 6-7ft tall plants, replants in a container with good soil and they will fruit the next year, they are doing fine.
@@MikeKincaid79 raspberry
Thank you for your videos. I always learn so much
That's what it's all about! Glad you enjoy them, Alexandra.
Thanks for this it’s exactly what I was looking for ! You rock
Awesome! Good luck Joe.
Going to try this tomorrow. Noticed that mine would do this in my yard, plant the ends itself. Will try to make more doing the same. Thank you for the video
Yep, you can do this right in the ground if you want.
Love your videos I been multiplying my blackberries, blueberries.
Glad to hear it. Thanks for your support!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure!
Thanks 🙏 I had no idea I could do this. Thanks
No problem 👍
oh mike, alway showing the humorous side of yourself and gardening. no plants where harmed making this video. of course, your gonna have a beautiful plant by next year, we'll remind you to show us and maybe a berry will appear. on taking a walk this summer, i had seen a rasberry bush growing out between 2 large rocks, so berries are somewhat tolerable of many conditions. later, carmine.
I had to add that before I got blasted by everyone for tearing out the roots, haha.
nice move on your part. cp.
Gonna have to give it a try! Thanks!
Have fun!
Who knew...just bury and it grows! Amazing 🌱
I love it!
your vid is the best as it shows people step by step and it answer question people may have about planting a stem/bare root which has buds that are pointing down.looks like mother nature takes over and the stems come from bud area and indeed turn upwards.if i could i would run up the number on the like button about a hundred times..thanks again...
Thanks so much for the wonderful comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Extremely cool!
Gosh I’ve watched other videos regarding propagating blackberries from clippings that were given to me and I have failed miserably ( yes even talked to them ) with know luck.
I’ll wait till I can find them locally and buy them, and try again. Thx for sharing your knowledge.
Can't wait to try this!
It's a sure bet and a lot of fun seeing the roots. Enjoy!
Good work , thanks for the video
No problem!
WOW, great...I finally found a blackberry bush that loves Florida so will do this and hopefully this spring will have many more
Good luck and have fun with it, Tom.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks....About how long does it take to root this time of year in Florida where it's.hot a and wet
That's a good way of doing it, i'll try it out i've done it with other plants but never blackberry
Definitely a fun and sure method. Good luck with it!
Yay!!!! Thank you! Now I have to catch up on your videos!!!
Have fun!
This is awesome!! My parents have a huge blackberry tree that I’ve wanted to bring a clipping to my yard. This is so great!!
tree?
maybe its a mulberry tree.
Must be a Mulberry! 🙂 They resemble blackberries but grow on a tree instead of a bramble.
Thank you! Great video!
:55 our thornless black berry is spreading through underground roots. The branches never get long enough to touch the ground.
That’s weird, I have a thornless and the branches are looooong and droopy. Maybe it’s a semi thornless or something 🤷🏼♀️
Love this guy
This guy loves you
That was so easy!! Thank you for this video. I have been trying to propagate my wild Oregon blackberries and always fail. I'm going to try this!
Have fun!
Great explainer.
Glad it was helpful!
love this channel, always good ideas with descriptions... I did the blackberry bending head in dirty, worked perfectly.. new plant grown.. then I decided to try another version, I cut the vine as if I was rooting raspberry plants but I made sure to keep one leaf and plants top in...
Good job Christian! Sure is easy when propagating blackberries this way. By the way, there's a part 2 to this video if you want to see a follow up the following summer: czcams.com/video/8sjVF3sdlKw/video.html
Where do you get your shredded bark growing/rooting medium? Would coco coir work the same? Seems like the bark would break down and provide some nutrients? You recommend zero soil?
Can you do this in the fall when it’s dormant, or only do in the summer while growing? Thanks!
Good video
Cool.
Thanks for the video Mike
You're welcome!
That's so awesome thank you so much for sharing
You're welcome!
Yes it was an easy but educational......thanks so much
Thanks, Kirk!
I started with a “stray” blackberry plant several months ago....through propagation I now have 5 with no end in sight
Awesome! Just finished 3 transplants
Sweet!
@@MikeKincaid79
If I transplanted my black berries yesterday, when do I cut them ? September?
Whaaaaaaa!!! Yesss, thank you!!!
Welcome
Hi Mike, great video as always. I think one thing is going for you each time you propagate, you are lucky to have the warm temperatures to propagate, here in Wales not so lucky. I planted last year some Black berries and a few Logan berries, I I will try it when the shoots are long enough.
Keep up the good work, and stay safe.
Danny Davies. :)
Thanks, Danny. I think we have similar weather. I live in Western Washington State and it usually stays pretty cool here. We get more cloudy days than any other state in the union and our area is known for having a constant drizzle of rain. We get a couple months of good sun and nice weather in the summer and then back to rain.
That's amazing! In one month.....
Loved it! New subscriber! Actually an old subscriber and had to hunt you up and re-subscribe! Liberals didnt like some of my comments describing their deficits! Cant keep a good man down.
Anyway, for you peeps on the fence about subscibing... Mike is one of the very best on CZcams when it comes to propagating plants. Beautiful little girls of his help him on occaision and fun watching the little minds open to nature while spending time with their Dad! Great channel!
I found out that my blackberry plant rooted it's self into my back yard when I went out there to cut off some of the long tips to root 2 days ago. I wasn't sure if I should leave it or not, so I did. Lol glad I did now...😊
Isn't it cool how nature works!
@@MikeKincaid79 it really is. I love it!
Adiós amigo! Nice video Mike! Thanks for sharing.
You are very good.
Thank you very much
Yay! We also have triple crown 😄. ❤️ your videos! Very educational!! Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Kristy! I really like the variety. Need to get it planted in soil, lol
Got a wild blackberry growing in my garden I'm going to try this on.
Have fun with it!
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks. Got a couple of stems in pots of compost so I'll see how they go. The bush sprung up last year. The bees loved it and got a lot of fruit from it. Unfortunately it's growing through the cracks of concreted area and unfortunately has to go to make repairs for a shed. I'd like to move it if I can, but propagating some shoots as a back up is probably a good idea.
Great!
Thank you!! ❤️🔥❤️
Thanks Mike real informative 👍🌻🦇🐓
You're welcome, Bill! Thanks for joining us this morning.
Thank you! this was really helpful
You’re welcome, Jessica!
Thanks
I love your stuff
I love that you love my stuff! Thanks for hanging out on the channel with us.
Amazing. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it! Don't forget to check out part 2.
@@MikeKincaid79 sure will
Mike your the man ! Always learn a ton from your chanel. Thanks for sharing. I originally had two blackberry bushes. But with your help I now have ten !
Or 50, LOL. Have fun with it, John!
Good video!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!Thank you
You're welcome, and don't forget part 2: czcams.com/video/8sjVF3sdlKw/video.html
Thank you for this video I've been wondering what the 6 ft tall thing coming out of my blackberry bush is..lol now I know
Haha, another blackberry vine.
I enjoy it
Good deal!
I used your plastic soda bottle idea to root a hard wood scheffelera foliage house plant. It worked!!!!!
I was going to give up until I saw you video. It was all about the humidity. I want to show you the pics. Do you have an email I can send the pics to? I have some questions for you concerning how to keep this healthy and growing without any mistakes. Let me know, David in CT
Awesome news, David! You should get into our Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/346884795717132 You can post all the pics you want there and I'd love to see them.
Some deferent but great job thanks Mike
Thanks!
That was fantastic! I'm heading out the door to root my blackberries. I have good potting soil that I mix and berries that need those long stems rooted. ;-) Thanks so much Mike.
Have fun with it!
I’m with you....it’s 7:30 pm and I’m headed outside to propagate some blackberries....yes in the dark with a headlight
Great video 😁👍 very useful to me
Awesome
thank u very much
Welcome!
I was about to say blackberries are very Hardy I'm sure he'll be just fine lol. Thanks for the video!
Yeah, I don't think we'll have a problem.
I have a mint and strawberry addiction I've propagated 30 +mints and 9 strawberry working on blackberry now
Mike, I was just outside preparing my propagating box. Every time I did something, I would say, "Mike said ....." and in this case I said, "Mike said to use a potting soil that drains well but still holds moisture." I am beginning to get started taking some cuttings and making videos of what I do. Thanks for all your help and instruction.
OAG
Cool! Look forward to seeing how things go over there.
Wow….do I feel stupid. I had no idea you could do this. I’ve had my thornless blackberry for 6 years, never knew you could propagate it so easily
Yep. Save some money and create your own clones.
Awesomeness 😎
Thanks 🤗
Im planning on taking some blackberry sprigs from my dads house. Im hoping they survive the drive to my home once I get them. They're wild berries so I get clawed up every year but they just have a better taste in my opinion than tame berries xD
Thanks mayne!
No problem!
wow. gonna propagate a bunch off the two i have then. i was about to buy more XD. thanks for this video!
Yep, just multiply what you have. No need to spend more money.
i didnt know you could do that, ive always pruned that thing
It's pretty cool what you can do with plants.
I'm visiting Portland right now and there are blackberries EVERYWHERE!
they have vicious thorns though. my legs and arms are so scratched up! but i picked and froze enough for a good batch of jelly when i get home.
Knowing that there are thornless varieties helps me be patient rather than clipping off a few branches to take home.
It's definitely that time of year. I was eating fresh blackberries this morning.
Wow !!!
I know, huh!
Yay, ty. Missed the raspberry one, I'll look for it.
I put a link in the description.
Aaaargh, that hurt so much! Beautiful demonstration, but at least you preserved that new plant, at least to sell it!
Still have it here and it's thriving!
Very nice information 🌹 bhai
This one made me smile Mike. I have a wild blackberry that comes from next door ! It’s rooted all the way along my pyracanthus hedge! As soon as I cut one bit another bit sprouts up!! I know how to propagate those bad boys!! Great information though! Thanks Mike. Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧
LOL, good luck with it. I've got the same problem coming in from my neighbor's place.
Totally smiled entire time!! Perfect! I could watch you all day! “stuff that tip right in the pot!!”
I’m not cringing!❤
Lol, glad you’re enjoying the show!
Looks like a pretty young magnolia beside the pot you planted the tip into
I had to go back and watch the video. That plant is actually a new rhododendron variety that my wife and I picked up at a nursery several hours from home. We hadn't planted it out in the landscape yet. The variety was 'Picobello'
I love propagating. Thank you very informative👍🏼
Isn't it fun!
It worked like a charm. I’ll never buy another blackberry again.
Cool!
Please can you advice if they can be grown in northern Canada where temp drop to -45 c in winter
Thank you
I love blackberries but thornless blackberries would definitely become a favorite kind to grow for making my turnovers for my grown children as one of their favorites that I would make for them on special occasions. I have never seen this method of growing from one plant to another before. You have inspired me to share this with my son who has a green thumb. These would be great for my grandkids to pick and share with me! So many roots Mike I wonder how you learned how to propagate these using this method? 👍
I read and read and read lots of books and magazines about propgation!
That’s how I learned my trade in Real Estate Property MGMT. And night classes. Good for you to be able to have a passion for what you love to do ❤️
Triple crown has got to be one of the easiest blackberry to propagate by tip rooting. I've seen them grow roots through grass and make a new plant with no digging or help whatsoever.
I haven't seen a blackberry yet that doesn't root easily, lol
What month do you put in soil with pot, and for how long. Do you cut as soon as you get good roots?
Great video! Love it! Have you ever tried cuttings? Can I cut some now and put them in soil in a cool room to sprout?
I've tried cuttings but with less success than this method. Now would probably be a great time to do cuttings of them.
Can you do this with cane blackberries?
