I grow thorned and thornless varieties of blackberries. 30 ft of muscadines and 30 ft of scuppernongs. All of them have been in the ground for about 5 years now.
I'm a bit further east from there actually, in wake county. I do love the mountains though, probably get up there soon now that its getting hotter here.Nice! When I saw the pics I immediately thought of NC. Looked like near Forest City and Hendersonville. Surprised when I went back and found your location was NC.
Nice!! I just potted 6 Kiowa blackberries plants I received in the mail a couple of days ago, going to get them in the ground soon. Hopefully have some good berries next year.View attachment 2088027
My blackberries finished flowering and berries are forming. Last yr they failed for some reason. These have thorns and are wicked. If they mature I’ll pick and freeze them then take to the local winery and get a couple of bottles later.
