Default Blackberries in a container garden?


Sorry about the zone mentions..here in the US, the entire country has
been designated with a number, by, IIRC, the US Dept of Agriculture.
When buying perennials, they are categorized by these zones. This way,
someone will not wind up buying a tender shrub which will thrive in a
mild climate, but fail to make it through a harsh winter.

Here is the map for my state.
