Is Triple Crown a vining BB plant?

Farm Alarm I am from India I want to know where I can get black and red berry seedlings

[@51rwyatt]

We bought a house in Maine couple years ago and inherited a raspberry patch about 3 beds, 20'x3' all same variety. We are doubling down and expanding the patch by 2-3x, adding blackberries and several more raspberry varieties. They are such a wonderful perennial, just a "got to" for temperate gardens.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

The blackberry pros back in action! Good info 🌱

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks Jake. Seems this is our area of expertise.

[@spiritualspinster165]

I love blackberries! I hate picking them because of the THORNS! So, I just bought 6 Thornless Blackberry plants and plan the plant them soon. Wild blackberries grow e v e r y w h e r e here and are usually considered weeds but I love them. My little plants are only 6 in. tall but already have blooms and berries forming. I plan to plant them along my fence. I live in East TN and expect them to grow like crazy. Love your videos. They have helped me a lot. If you have any info specific to thornless blackberries I'd love to hear it. I am a backyard farmer of sorts as well. It started with a few strawberry plants on my back deck 5 years ago. Then came the fruit trees. I have 2 Paw Paws, a FuYu Persimmon, a Peach, a Fig, a Pear and 2 Hazel Nut trees. They are still small but growing well. I want to have a few chickens for eggs eventually. I believe this is an addictive hobby :)

[@cherylmuriekes2523]

I'm in the pacific northwest. I have wild blackberries by the truck load. I do prune where they come over the walk or out to the street to keep them kinda in check.

[@plmgroup10]

Great tips, really appreciate your advice, particularly the trellis. I came across this video after I've planted the blackberries.

[@LivingMiracleHomestead]

I'm getting some blackberry's soon and this video helped me figure where i need to put them. Thank you.

[@FarmAlarm]

You're welcome. Glad it helped 👍

[@zhazhagab0r]

Thank you! Finally someone explained how to tell which canes had already fruited!

[@cassityart7001]

Thanks! This is very helpful. Our blackberries are thornless triple crown. We grow them on a 40 ft archway made of cattle panels. I tip the vines and roll them and tie them onto the welded panels. We have 5 grandchildren and two coming in the next month so having fruit at little people level is important. 🙂❤️. Grazing in the garden is really fun!

[@FarmAlarm]

So glad we could help! Gardening always makes us hungry its nice to have a snack handy. I bet the grand babies enjoy help picking and eating!

[@ajwarner6855]

Just bought some blackberry plants - thanks for sharing the knowledge and passion!

[@shaeshae9831]

I just talked to your Channel today is July 11th Thursday at 4:04 p.m. on the East Coast I was sent by the Hollard family Homestead

[@roots2agarden857]

Hello, I saw you on "Off the Grid with Doug and Stacy" it was an old episode when you took them a thornless blackberry bushes. So I'm new to the gardening and I have black and blue berry bushes. This has been helpful but I use containers hoping they grow well next year. Thanks for sharing.

[@debraarizona4809]

This video was so interesting. I learned that I needed to prune my berrie bushes to help them grow and produce better crops,also that a trellis is a useful way to support the bushes,also the way the plants are watered is also important with the help of their growth. I really enjoyed this video and all the helpful info provided. Thank you for sharing this video. All of your plant look healthy,and well cared for. Great job!

[@FarmAlarm]

Thank you, i am so glad we were able to help you be successful

Thank you so much for the tip on the cane bore beetles!!! Didn't know what they were or the damage they can cause!

[@FarmAlarm]

Happy to help!

[@scarlett8844]

exactly what I was looking for, you guys seem to really know what you're talking about, thanks!

[@jenagarcia1728]

Hi folks! Doug and Stacy sent me....love your tips...been growing these 40 yrs. Your boy is growing fast!

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks for watching. Was the video that Doug and Stacy reccomend us on a New video of theirs or an old video?

[@letsRegulateSociopaths]

best berry vid. all the others just don't know.... really excellent growing.

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks so much Ryan!

[@AlmostHomestead]

Great info guys. It's interesting to see people growing blackberries. Here in the Pacific NW they grow everywhere and spread like crazy.

[@FarmAlarm]

We have lots of wild ones on the farm. But wanted to try our hand, now we are in over our heads. Lol

[@Dankapotamus918]

Blackberries can punch through wood mulch just fine, even upwards of 7 inches thick. Mine have no problem and those that make it up are stupid thick.

[@OnCall24Seven]

AWESOME VIDEO FULL OF HELP!!!

[@marysorganicgardenjournal8616]

Growing blackberries for the first time this year.Thanks for the tips.

[@Dfordgirl03]

Yay!!!!!Thank you. I love the blackberry videos because Im new to growing blackberries and have learned alot from you.

[@FarmAlarm]

Glad we were able to help you out! Thanks for watching

[@oysterman2517]

Had to watch this again this year. Really good advice. Thanks.

[@PetalsonthePavingSlabs]

Interesting this, thank you. I have considered growing blackberries on my plot, but as they grow so prolifically as a weed all round where I live (and pretty much the whole of the UK!) I've never thought it was worth the space to cultivate some - even though I could have the choice of different varieties and can feed / prune etc them to ensure a great crop - which I cant on the ones that grow as a weed. Thank you for giving me lots of food for thought!

[@shortchanged.]

I have been taming my wild black Berry's .starting with making rows and transplanting and have a miraculous yield compared to the wild I have done nothing to

[@benm5407]

Free plants, list em on ebay

[@Screamingpinesfarm]

I am going to try to tame some wild blackberry plants closer to the house and in rows if it works out and does well. Then buy thornless blackberry slowly replace. Still got 3 weeks till ground is workable. Have great week!

[@FarmAlarm]

Good luck Wes!

[@ZeldaCSmith]

Just started 13 blackberries plants from seed this yr..They are about 5 inches tall n thorny...

[@KrazyKajun602]

Maybe you can help me. I live in zone 8b Hessmer La. and I am new to blackberry growing. I want to plant thornless varieties of Ouachita and Natchez. Can you provide me with step by step instructions on the proper way of planting 1 gal containers, watering and fertilizing?

[@jeanlanz2344]

Thank you for the great blackberry growing tips. I really appreciate it.

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks for the feedback 😀

[@cathyanderson8197]

ours is about 10-14 ft long some of them touch the roof and they're up against the house. We are loaded with berries - we weave them against wood ladders and over the fences. We cut them in fall at the bottom the canes that produced.

[@plaguedoctor8294]

I found one in my front yard So now I know how to grow them

Ive heard about digging a trench and filling it with straw/mulch on the botte, then dirt on the top to hold mosture.

[@gardengirl11ify]

Thanks for the great info

[@garymckenzie7342]

Thank you for the great tips! I have put three hundred-foot rows of blackberries this spring. You information will should help me achieve success.

[@dgb5820]

Fantastic video appreciate the tips

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks so much. Glad to help.

[@QualeHouse]

Thanks for the info! Planting our blackberries very soon!

[@patkillian3511]

I like what you are saying about the hay, although in the south some hay growers use grazon to kill weeds. the grazon stays on the hay for 7 years. Working in a location that has complaints about plants and tomatoes, the one problem that stands out is a farmer used horse manure that the horse hate the hay from a field that had used grazon on it. the manure was contaminated with the grazon, it didn't hurt the horse. but once contaminated manure was used on the 50 tomato plants it rained on the plants causing the grazon to splash on the plants killing them. so the moral of this story, is to be sure where you buy manure or hay.

[@hollybacon3172]

Great video!

[@FarmAlarm]

Thank you so much for watching.

[@thiennguyen988]

thanks for sharing

[@allanbonnieguffey5634]

Thanks for sharing these great tips. We started a row of blackberries last year after seeing yours

[@FarmAlarm]

That's so cool we encouraged you to try something new! Best of luck!

[@petercrane5797]

Thanks for the great video. Question: My plants in early fall have long (7-10ft) arms that have leaves, should I trim them back this fall or wait until spring?

[@butchcass223]

I am lucky enough, the oak leaves fall close enough I can use those as the substitute for straw. I used straw one year but they seemed to grow better with the oak leaves around them.

[@FarmAlarm]

Wow that's great. Makes easy work.

[@guyh.4553]

Was watching this and was telling myself "That's NOT a trellis! Trellis' are stepped landscaping. (Better known as TERRACES!) I'm going to chew you out!" SHEESH! Ha ha ha! Good info you two!

[@FarmAlarm]

Lol

[@HiwasseeRiver]

My local straw comes with free Johnson Grass seed! My plants are ready for summer.

[@virginiarparker9503]

Thank you

[@barbararobertson4446]

Thanks for the great Blackberry growing tips!

[@TheDavemurrayy]

I've never grown thornless blacberries before but we planted a short row of arapaho blackberries this spring. Only had a handful of berries this year as to be expected. My question is should I prune them before winter or wait until year two to begin pruning? I thought arapaho was an erect variety but we had to zip tie them to our fence, a lot of the canes are 6-8 feet. Also, is it normal for the leaves to turn purple in November?

[@andreistancescu1669]

Multumesc pentru informati, foarte utile, I have problem with the fruits drying out before ripening I suspect luck of water.

[@littlecreekhomestead4086]

Thanks for all the valuable information! I just might be able to pull blackberries off after all!!!!

[@FarmAlarm]

You're Welcome Vicki!

[@alicecolody5389]

Great! information

[@badsworthcats]

There are now thornless Raspberries , one variety from Canada and a few others available from different suppliers here in the UK , so I am sure available over in the US.

[@KrazyKajun602]

I am looking for step by step instructions on planting Natchez plants from the beginning? Preparing the soil, transplanting, fertilizing, etc. Do you have any?

[@LiliansGardens]

Great video because my blacberry/tayberry is the vining type and you mentioned it too. ItMy vine is quite long though about ten feet.

[@blandishblaze]

Thanks for the info guys! I have a huge wild patch ( thorned ) not sure if there’s a difference maintaining? Should I use the same technique you guys are using? It yielded really good last year by itself, I’m almost afraid to mess with them. But if I can make them healthier then why not right! Thanks for the videos guys! Cheers from northern Ontario Canada!

[@FarmAlarm]

Hope all is well in Canada 🇨🇦. Pruning will help them stay healthy for sure. Enjoy those berries

[@rachaelmartinez1532]

Thank you so much! I have the vining type of blackberry bush that has gone pretty crazy out here in CA. Thank you for these tips.

We grow blackberries and we just love them in just about everything. Thank you for the great upload :)

[@georgepalmerin4514]

Excellent . great subcribed.

[@loridietz2720]

Just moved on to land with a small row of blackberries, they have produced a lot of berries. I appreciate all these suggestions and tips, but I'm curious about pesticides, do I need to use those or are the berries safe to eat? thanks

[@rscottwilson1]

Helpful!

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks!

[@markwebb4457]

Tracy, In other tutorial, they tell us to prune fruiting canes as low to the ground as possible immediately after fruit harvest. Your video demonstrates how you allow the spent canes to overwinter and then prune early spring. Which should we do? Thank you

[@davidg5584]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

[@FarmAlarm]

You're welcome!!!

[@allhandsondeck4989]

Best video I've seen yet

[@chrisbaker528]

Great information. I have triple crown berries. Can I use the 2 trellis system? Thanks for the 6 tips. I will use them.

[@batchrocketproject4720]

Really useful and clearly explained, Thanks for posing. I use a two wire trellis but find it difficult to keep orderly once the new shoots (next year's fruiting vines) get growing. Is it ok to shorten the new growth during the summer or does this cause them to branch? Also, where many new shoots are coming from the ground, should they be thinned by cutting at the base as soon as they appear or wait until they have grown before thinning?

[@JeffTheWatchman]

Nice job. I f we did this I fear we'd have to build fences to keep the deer out. ... or are deer not really a concern with blackberries? Thanks

[@francislambert5189]

Thank you very much...and yes, I learned something today, again.

[@pughums]

[@ericklingele661]

Thank you for the great video. Question: How did you decide on your variety? I am also looking at the variety Navajo.

[@HomesteadOdyssey]

Some great tips! Can't wait to start our blackberries this year!!

[@FarmAlarm]

Hey thanks. Good luck with your berry adventure 👍

[@debbannon354]

Great video. How can we figure out which kind of blackberries we have, Vining or upright? Also, do you fertilize? When? With what? Thanks!!!

[@JohnMartinez-sm1sk]

Great tips

[@212acres3]

What kind of blackberry’s do you grow and where did you eat them? I would like to start about 5-20 this spring.

[@heatherbeerman4453]

How do you prune the vine blackberry’s that you use the panel to trellis? Thank you for the video!

[@elizabethranstrom6800]

Thanks so much for the wonderful tips! I believe my blackberry is a viney one so I appreciate knowing how to trellis those! The Hollars sent me ❤️

[@FarmAlarm]

You're welcome, and thank you.

[@backyardmetalcasting]

Thanks for this video. I planted to blackberry plants over the winter and they are starting to produce now. I had a different variety before and never got any berries from them

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks for letting us know that this video was helpful. Good luck with your berries and know that next year you should have even a better crop since you just planted those last winter.

[@backyardmetalcasting]

Farm Alarm thank you!

[@FarmAlarm]

You're welcome David

[@philandbevanthony264]

Enjoyed watching! We've been very tardy with our plants. Wanted to move them but just ran out of time. So now, we need to prune what's there :-(

[@FarmAlarm]

We have been so behind as well. It is always lot of work to keep things going.

[@growwhereyoureplantedhomes9166]

Thank you for your video. Can you transplant wild blackberries. I have several on my place. Thinking about moving them to the garden. Thanks for any info. You're loved more than you know.

[@bchaney5402]

I just watched your video about blackberries...very informative. I am considering planting my own. Which growing zone are you in? I'm in central Indiana and I am kinda in the dark regarding the winter hardiness of blackberries. Do u have any thoughts? Thanx !!!

[@SteveShoemake]

Howdy - what are the heights of your two wires for the blackberry trellis? Thanks!

[@createinme]

Thanks for the info. I’m still learning. Your practical information is very helpful. I live in south Alabama. What information do you have on fertilizing blackberries? We have some wild blackberries too.

[@FarmAlarm]

We let the chickens on our blackberries during off season so they can till, eat bugs and fertilize . We don't use a fertilizer other than our chickens.

[@inderwink]

🍎Nice tips. Quick and informative video. Thanks! 🍎👩🏻‍🌾👍🏻

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks So much fro watching!

[@grahamdougherty226]

Love the video. Do blackberries take heavy water?

[@FarmAlarm]

Yes the sure can

[@badsworthcats]

Learnt a lot, thankyou

[@lolajane1452]

Hello! Thank you for this video, its very informative and helpful. We have 2 thornless blackberries that we planted 2 years ago. The first 2 years we got big plump blackberries. This year they are at least half the size smaller. Is there anything we can do to to correct this? Also. They grow a random upright stalk that has no blooms or berries. My husband keeps cutting it off. Can you explain what its purpose is and if removing it from the Bush is a good thing or bad thing? Is it next years blueberries?

[@davidhunter5062]

Blackberries are biennial plants, meaning they take two years to produce fruit. I'm guessing that 'random upright stalk' was very green, leafy and lush, wasn't it? It was new growth coming up from the roots. It will do nothing in its first year but grow. If you cut it down (and all of the other similar ones), you will not have any blackberries next year. If you let it grow (and prune it, etc.) you will have a great crop of blackberries on those canes next year (in their second year). So tell your husband to stop. If he doesn't, next year you will have dead, lifeless 3rd year canes, no fruiting 2nd year canes, and new first year canes emerging from the roots (that will produce fruit eventually...but not until 2021).

[@ednye742]

So what kind of blackberrys do you grow ,, have always wanted to grow some , thanks ed

[@elwood212]

My problem is keeping to Roos and podderoos off my berries once the covers come off.

[@johnos4892]

I like primocane fruiting blackberries. It is easier for me to cut down all canes to the ground in winter than to selective prune. And I don't know of a primocane fruiting blackberry that requires trellising.

[@sheenawalkerstafford7468]

HEY MY husband and myself love your videos and love our blackberries but unfortantly we don't know the the strain what is the best route to finding out what we have been putting love and time into? If you could help that would be great thanks for sharing.
