Response to Has anyone grown the blackberries that produce 20 gallons per plant?

We have had very old fashioned (read: thorns that would make a jaguar jealous) blackberries that we have picked for years. Each plant produces a new cane each year and it is the 2nd year canes that produce. You should cut those canes out after they become dormant - they are dead, but still a deterrent to picking. We get lots of thumb-sized blackberries (want the wine recipe?) each year, several gallons on a 20'x20' patch. I am intrigued by 20 to 30 gallons per plant. When you have them established, I would like to trade you for some of the piglets I have taught to fly, or maybe some of my 200 lb chickens. Good luck! Brad
