Greetings, all.

When we purchase our lot, there were some blackberry plants, but we tore them out b/c they were in a place we wanted to put something else. We have only one stem left. We've discovered they're really nice & now we'd like more, but don't know what to look for.

I can describe the plant: Tall, sturdy canes something like 7-8 feet high or so, the strongest canes as thick as broom handles. Occasionally, long side branches. Leaves/stem buds alternate, singly, along the stems, about 2-3" apart. Large, black berries, like the nice large blackberries you can buy in stores. Some of the leaves overwinter, staying green despite temps occasionally reaching 0-10 F in the winter. Do not seem to multiply rapidly. Absolutely no thorns on the stems.

We would appreciate any assistance, as we've not found plants like this in local nurseries.

Thanks,

Randy
