Could some knowledge person tell me how to take and successfully root
cuttings taken from b lackberry bushes. I really need detailed
instructions, please.
TIA.

Jon

take the thorns off and cut into pieces about as thick as a pencil and at
least a foot long. Remember which end is the top!. Push into a sandy compost
and keep moist.

PS. It's easier to get new plants by bending a stem from an existing plant
and burying the tip. It'll root very easily and create a new plant.
