Just yesterday, I picked a gallon of blackberries from my father-in-law's
six bushes. These are a unknown, thorned variety.

I would like to grow my own. Can anyone recommend a variety and a reputible
supplier?

I live in Southern New Jersey, zone 7a or 6b depending on which map you
follow.

Thanks,

I'm growing Triple Crown, a thornless variety I got from Stark Brothers
Nursery in Louisiana, MO. Planted them in January and picked a very
small crop of berries in April. They are low growing and fairly easy to
train. The six plants I planted in January have taken up about 20 feet
of prepared bed now. I'm looking forward to a large crop next spring. I
live in USDA Zone 9b so your mileage may vary.
