No need to tie in this one its not a trailing variety its a bush! I have an Oregon Thornless I have had for many years that is a trailing variety and I know to cut out the second year branches. This is a bush variety which is much less common in gardens and allotments but apparently is more common commercially. A few of these apparently fruit on first year wood hence my dilemma.Has anyone actually had a bush non-trailing variety of blackberry?
Thanks for all your advice. I took it and basically cut out the fruiting branches leaving the others alone. That way I can't go wrong.
I’m in two minds about a thornless blackberry I have grown against a trellis at home…it produces a lot of very long new growth every year, but seems to fruit only at the very ends of the canes which are over 4m long! I’m tempted to dig it up and perhaps move it to the allotment and train it against some posts and wires or over my polytunnel frame…or perhaps just start again! ?
