Hi
Just found a few wild bramble plants in the long grass in the middle of our allotment, we got the plot about a month ago and will be getting it rotavated soon but I was just wondering if they will sprout all over the place if they are rotavated into the ground.

Probably. This will happen whatever you do. Try to dig as much as you can out anyway. Part of the fun of it all...

Be utterly ruthless.  Don't even think "I fancy a few blackberries, perhaps I'll leave them".

[liz from the fizz]

Now we have had some decent rain dig as much of the roots up as poss and put them in the recycling bin/rubbish bin. they become a true problem if you leave them around. In my neighbours garden the brambles are as thick as a pork sausage and keep trying to make a come back in mine  but treat them with cruelty, although the first year we were here i had some super pies of them. :!:

The seed is spread by bird droppings

my plot was full of blackberries some were from an old holder which is a shame but they are a * to get rid of and grow so big before you even get any fruit! get them up before the plot is rotavated that is 100%!!

Get rid of the wild ones. :twisted:

Buy a new thornless type, you get more fruit from them, they are easier to pick and don't spread as much.

Try Wilkinsons, thats where i got mine from.
