All my blackberries have failed. They started to fruit and then just
dried up Didn't get any plums or apples either

We had the same problem with out Boisenberry for the second year, so it is
gone, and the Loganberry has one more year to redeem itself or that too
will go. No point in wasting effort and space for no return.

So in my case, would you give them another couple of years? I have had the
other stuff fail but never the blackberries.

It depends on what sort of shoots they developed for next years frit. If
they look strong and healthy, I would carry on with them. It they are
short and damaged, give up!
