do all brambles have blackberries???????????
« on: July 27, 2011, 10:31 »
I have noticed some very small brambles growing through from next doors garden at ground level.  I would usually try and dig these out but as they are rigt down the bottom of my garden and there is no other planting down there (just some greedy chickens) I thought i might let them grow if they would give me and my chicks some lovely blackberries to eat! 
HOW DO I KNOW IF THEY WILL HAVE BLACKBERRIES? or do some brambles not fruit?
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks

They have small green berries which eventually turn reddish then turn black!  (Yes).  :D  Cheers,   Tony.

Yes, but some taste sweeter than others. The only way to find out is to let a few grow...

Even if they're the sharp kind they will still be good in pies! ;)

You'll be lucky if you get to taste any. If they are at ground level the chickens will soon have them off :)
