Hi,
A friend gave me a bramble rooting which was then about 1 - 1.5ft
long, this was about 2 years ago. I planted it in a sunny place and
bordering a plain looking fence in order to add some colour and with
any luck a harvest of berries. This is the second summer since I
planted and although there is tremendous growth and spread of the
plant , alas no flowers. I read that you should get flowering in the
second year. Perhaps I have neglected to feed it correctly so as to
encourage a profusion of flowers ? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Try bending down the 'branches' in an arc to stimulate side growths
which will be more ready to flower.

If you've already got lots of side growths, then, sorry, I can't help!

It's too early in the year for flowers, at least in my neck of the
woods.

Good point. In my first reading, I thought he'd had the plant longer
than he has, ie two non-flowering seasons before flowering. Blackberries
flower when? - about June?
