I just bought a blackberry today!!!!!!!! π No, NOT the electronic kind. =P
No, it's a Blackberry Satin Thornless (as seen in photos 1 & 2) from Mitre Ten. π Self-fertile, so you'll need only one for the bees to pollinate itself (using its own pollen!) and produce fruit. Fruit grows on second-year woody stem growth, so after two years, you should have fruit. I put compost in the bottom of the tub, strawberry mix in the top, mixed with sheep & chicken pellets and peat moss, dug a small hole in the middle, put a banana peel in the bottom, and then planted the blackberry plant in it (same as for the blueberries, except for the sheep & chicken pellets I used because Mitre Ten had sold out of straight sheep pellets. =P ) Snapdragons open (as in photo 3) in my garden recently, and two blooming gorgeous flowering cuttings in a vase (last three photos), that I cut off the cherry-ice-cream geraniums I had to cut away part of last week to make way for the yellow rose I bought to replace my old one that had died. π
