Hi,

We seem to have loads of very nastily thorned blackberries in our back
garden. One is even impossible to tend with gloves on the thorns are
that sharp / many.

Is it possible to tidy them up in any way?
We have one thorn less bush in to far left of the garden but it keeps
getting swamped with the thornier ones.

I love the berries but would like to contain them in some way... Is it
possible?

Just prune them heavily each year after fruiting with a long handled
scythe or slash hook.
