I just planted Marionberries yesterday along with Boysenberries, Loganberries and Tayberries. The two 90’ rows I have were covered in wild blackberries for years so I finally dug them out. I’m located in Yacolt Washington just north of Portland in the foothills of Mt. St. Helens. Prime berry country. I took 5 giant blueberry plants home that had been bulldozed along with hundreds of others at a 100 acre blueberry farm near us. I couldn’t believe they were wasting them. Great video.

Yes, as others have noted, that is NOT a Marionberry plant and those cans look like a partially erect variety vs trailing, not to mention thornless. I have 60 Triple crown thornless plants that this one reminds me of and my other 60 are Marionberries and they are very thorny....

[@christinaheater2500]

Thank you so much. Plant tags never give enough info. You give those important tips and details that make a huge difference.

[@kukana228]

Great informative video. Good system for keeping the canes separated! No thorns--Yay!

[@briansilkworth5486]

Our Marion Berry is very thorny and robust. It also grows next to our raspberries just fine. I’ve not pruned yet this fall so I’ll go inspect the plant and look for the old canes to cut back. I do like your parallel wire system and perhaps can train mine into that.

[@sandibendocchi2895]

Great video!! You solved one of my gardening dilemmas & I love the 2 wire training idea!! I "liked & subscribed" - so happy I ran across you!!

[@playotte]

A friend just shared 2 marionberry plants. We have raspberries, and I really appreciate what you shared because I had no idea marionberries were floppy and needed so much support.

[@invisiblian]

exactly, this looks like Boyenberry. Marionberry has rounded leaves.

[@lennapelayo3252]

I love your videos they're so informative great picture videos Great Sound you're just great I'm so glad I found you

[@PermacultureHomestead]

fun one. i have to maintain my blackberries similarly but i think ive found a low maintenance way, thx for sharing your tips on this one.

[@anniemalone8556]

Me too. My Marion berries are very thorny and fruits on new growth

[@sassysanders3997]

Thank you so much....I wanted to plant one but had no idea how to maintain.

[@jenjenr3066]

I loved your video & have watched it multiple times. I inherited my 97yr old Grandmas home, in WA State, which includes a garden & a row of marionberries she 1st planted in 1964. Last year I noticed a growth on one of the canes, & over the winter/fall it has spread from one end of the row-to the other. Any ideas what to do? Thank you so much! 😊

[@DR-lh9rm]

Really helpful. Thank you.

[@oersson]

Just checking how satisfied you are with your two tier trellis for primicanes and floricanes? We have considered a two trellis system where the fruiting would alternate sides. That would seem to have the advantage of not having to raise the primicanes up to the top at the end of the season. But the down side is having to maintain a 2nd trellis. Please opine! Keep up the great work! -- Ole from Kailash Ecovillage.

Nice vid but those aren't Marionberries. Marion's are very thorny and the leaves/new growth don't look like that. May be you have a new variety altogether if what you got was a sport from the parent plant.

[@seane6616]

Yeah, my marionberries are super thorny with these needlelike throns, they're mean!

[@redrobotsoup]

Thanks! Your videos have been very helpful.

[@ParkrosePermaculture]

Thank you so much!!! 💚🌿💚

[@YardHatOne]

Thanks, very informative! I hate to sound like a newb here but how far down do you cut 'last years' growth? Is it to the ground or...?

[@dianeladico1769]

Thanks for the great video. Lots of good information here. I like your two-wire system, it seems foolproof. I just bought two and now I have an idea of how much area they'll need.

[@KathleenCorum]

I bought what was supposed to be a raspberry and kept it in a pot for a couple years. Put it in the ground and discovered this year that it is a blackberry. It is very thorny but based on *when* it fruited, I thought it was a marionberry. Do they fruit early as mine have?

[@cammaccus]

The leaf looks more a thornless blackberry variety versus a marrionberry. Are you sure about this plant in your video is actually a marrionberry? The leaf is quite different in your video versus any marrionberry leaf I have seen..

[@jamiecramer5834]

have you done a video of the transition in the fall?

[@raphlvlogs271]

do you consider them shrubs or herbs?

[@melissaconnolly1476]

So what type of wire did you use? Is it a gauged wire and what type of material of wire is it?

[@melissaconnolly1476]

Also how far way from the fence should they be?

[@Gesundheit888]

What USDA are you in?

[@SpiritOfTheHeretic]

I'm jealous yours is thornless. Mine has a ton of very big thorns...much bigger than those of my raspberries.

[@seane6616]

All marionberries are thorny, I dont think she had marionberries

[@SpencerRaybourne]

Thornless!! my marionberry plant I bought last year is super thorny. An in comparison to yours looks like an starving supermodel. How old is your plant?

[@ParkrosePermaculture]

It's going into its fourth year.

[@ParkrosePermaculture]

Did someone sell you a seedling from the parent, instead of a rooted cutting? Because the seedlings can be super thorny.

[@SpencerRaybourne]

Bought from Al's in Woodburn, I don't know how it was propagated.

[@gumarovasquez2955]

S. Raybourne The new thorless hybrid Marionberry is a patented berry. So it will not be in any garden center.

[@SimpleThingsAmuseMe]

Interesting that you can grow a marionberry that close to a raspberry. Raspberry plants kill marionberry plants if planted too close. Master Gardener told me that they had to be about 25 yards away.

[@themagnetc]

A "kwince" tree?

[@Mike-rk8oo]

Hmmm. My marionberries have lots of thin thorns. Approx. 20 per inch.

[@ParkrosePermaculture]

Yes, as I said. This is a thornless variety called "Willamette"

[@Mike-rk8oo]

@@ParkrosePermaculture I wonder what variety I have. I got them from Stark Brothers. I'm going to check with them.

[@knitnpaint]

Not a Marionberry. Mine is very thorny.

[@patfromamboy]

What kind of berries are those? They aren’t Marionberries.

[@kimsplace4]

Good info but are you sure that's a marionberry? It's looks nothing like that to me. Yours looks like a thornless blackberry. Marionberries have bigger leaves and lots of thorns.

[@ParkrosePermaculture]

It’s not a thornless blackberry. I also grow those and they produce canes. This variety is called “Willamette” and is sold in our area as a thornless Marion. I was surprised to find folks grow thorny ones (regressive) with thornless ones on the market. The seedlings of this one revert and are VERY thorny and I have to diligently pull them up. It’s got quite big leaves as the season goes on and the plant is much older.

[@kimsplace4]

@@ParkrosePermaculture aaaaw, ok thank you. I'm in the high desert area and hadn't ever heard of a different type of marinberry. Very cool, thank you. Does it produce the same type of berry size and taste? I'll have to look for some.

[@shashakeeleh5468]

You mumbled, and the audio was in and out. Wish you'd given an example by cutting canes. Didn't learn much here, except flesh/seed ratio. Moving along.
