Hi All,

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,

Tim

Can you not take a cutting or better still a piece of root from your
farther-in-laws bushes. It is dead easy to root. The only problem is if you
want to get rid of it as it will spread everywere. One shure fire way to
root it is to take a branch and peg it to the ground untill it roots, then
cut it off and you have anew plant. Hope this helps you.
