Jon take the thorns off and cut into pieces about as thick as a pencil and at least a foot long. Remember which end is the top!. Push into a sandy compost and keep moist. PS. It's easier to get new plants by bending a stem from an existing plant and burying the tip. It'll root very easily and create a new plant. -- Martin & Anna Sykes ( Remove x's when replying ) http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sykesm |

Don't take a cutting. Just bend over a healthy long shoot and bury its tip an inch or two into the soil. Anchor it in place with a stout wire hook or something similar. Franz |

Jon If you really mean Blackberry as in brambles then you peg the shoot tips to the ground, it will soon root. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |
