Default Blackberries for the Austin area.

Oh yes! I saw the thorny things everywhere this last weekend. I have
a backyard wildlife habitat, so the birds will love this, but I cannot
have them taking over.

Hi Sede,
Well, I have seen blackberries out back go crazy and out of control via
runners. I thin they are blackberries. They seem to be taking over and have
spread low to the ground dozens of feet in a couple years.

Hi,

I have some space in my yard where I would like to grow berries. I have
found out that that blackberries is what most likely would be able to
tolerate the heat, but I do not know what variety to get. I would like
something that isn't to prone to disease and which can take the heat of
course. If there are other berries I could do please let me know. What is
most important is that what I get is low maintenance and suited for the
climate.

Thanks!
