I'm in Massachusetts. I know that most blackberries are perennials and come back year after year and spread well. Is that true for this variety?

My neighbor has had all kinds of the blackberries and they always came back every year. He had them on a fence where he could get to them easily. I don't know about this particular variety but judging from all the other ones around here, with proper water , they will come back without too much trouble. Even the wild blackberries will come up in the most horrible places and if you water them, they will produce berries every year. No need to replant even the wild ones.

Yes, they are perennial here in upstate NY. However, the rabbits like to eat them. We lost a couple to the rabbit family that live under our deck. Good luck

I bought these last year. This year was a pretty rough winter in the Northeast and they came back beautifully this year, even better than last year.

It is extremely slow growing. I bought last year and then kept indoors with a grow light through the winter since it had remained so small. It has been outside again the past month, plant is doing fine but has not produced any blackberries

As far as I know, all blackberries and dewberries are perennials. One variety in Oregon is so prolific and large that it is considered a weed. This variety you are interested in was developed by the University of Arkansas. I do not know if it is hardy in your area. It is patented so propagation without a license (and a fee to UA) is prohibited until the patent runs out. They may spread some underground, but most often new plants are started when a tip makes contact with the soil for several months. I know Triple Crown is grown in a variety of climates and might be more suitable for your situation. The plants I purchased from this seller were very young and very small. Both plants failed to survive in my garden.

They are perennials. It is best to look up the answers to these types of questions in a reliable source, rather than trust the sometimes clueless responses you'll find here. I have had them growing in my garden for years, and each year they come back more than before, in gradually spreading drifts. They have a low, mounding habit, and will spread around and between other plantings. They are really eye catching when in full bloom because of the intense color. I am growing them in coastal Oregon. Reading the answers below, you'll see that even the seller gave you the wrong answer. Look it up. They are perennials.

I am not really able to help you with an answer to that question. 1. I beloved the thrive in warmer/ humid climates. 2. I have yet to plant mine. 3. Anything is possible you may need to be a bit creative. And 4. I live in Texas which is a little different from Virginia.

I have planted them, about 7-8 weeks ago. And disappointedly to this day only 9 have grown!!!! I love those plants, when I lived in Md., I had a huge pot of them, but since my mother passed away, my brothers have thrown everything we owned away, cause my father could not afford house in Md anymore! If you want I will send you a picture of what grew. My mother loved these, thatswhy I ordered them, there is not one nursery in Myrtle Beach, SC that sell them!

I have a Black Dragon Wisteria but it did not bloom this year because I planted it in the summer. I do know that my Russian sage attracts honeybees every year and I use to have a Summersweet and every year around July 4th, it was covered with honeybees. Honey bees are endangered in the wild and not as common to see anymore. You may want to look into buying a home for Mason bees. They are said to be the best pollenators and they are really fascinating.

I planted a variety of plants last year including pansies and coleus. Since blueberries and raspberries are more bushy plants than strawberries I don't know how they would workout.

I have a friend who grew them in Ohio and they grew well. They are in a regular package with plenty of seeds to start out with. They are a cousin to the morning glory so they go away in the winter totally so collect seed in the fall to reseed in the spring. They reseed the area well and replanting is sometimes not necessary.

In my case it grew into a wild strawberry not black. I have a lot of very fragrant small red berried. I think you right are about the scam! They came directly from the woods as wild as could be.

Sorry I don't know. I'm a resident of Virginia. Mine is a house plant. Doing very well. Not a fast grower.

Twiggy sounds about right, I live in new jersey and planted it in September. I have no shoots at all and its only grown leaves, but its still alive I am hopeful.

I find they do best outside, just not enough sun inside unless you have a large glass patio door, but not every home does. Blueberries like sun, lots of it and true, well watered.

I live in Massachusetts where winter is pretty cold. I planted the bulbs 3 weeks ago in a pot indoors, and I have lovely 4 inch green seedlings. Will need a few more weeks to see them flower. Too cold for outdoors around here.

They are listed as annual plants but I have planted them in the fall for harvest in the late summer or fall. I actually did have them survive for a second year but I understand that is not usual. By the way, I am also a nurse as is Vicki Aarsheim.Maybe we just have good luck with kale. lol

Honestly, I don't know. I'm trying here in Virginia. We planted three in the spring, with manure. They summered nicely. we just applied some heavy mulch in anticipation of winter. Hope yours and ours do well. Susan Berry

I'm in Louisiana and received mine in April of last year and I planted it outside in a container. It looked like it died over the winter but it has come back with a vengeance! Hooray! But... I still haven't gotten any fruit from it. Maybe this year hopefully.
