How long did it take your blackberry bush to.grow nicely? Planted mine last year it grew maybe a few inches but how long does it take?

It's a hybrid thornless blackberry bush. It's been in the ground for about 2 years now.

OK mine is a year this year so next year maybe it will flourish. I didn't get the thornless one. But the berries are huge and juicy

Nice!

My trees and bushes have budded! Thornless blackberry, cherry (brooks, Stella, and bing) apple tree is flowering, I got my strawberries in, lettuce, and sweetpeas. We put in a pear tree that also is leafing out.

now I need dirt in my boxes for my giant pumpkin and corn and I'm all set.

Awesome! How old your Stella?

Almost 2 years now, it should really take off this year I think

Probably. Mine grew like 3 feet in its second year.

Uggh! Freeze warning for my area tonight! I tilled the garden spot yesterday hoping to do a little planting this weekend. Grrrr so much for first day of spring. Oh well guess it'll have to wait .

Hope mine takes off like that this year, I LOVE cherries! I eat myself silky every year.

I planted some thornless blackberries last season. I got some Prime-Ark Freedom, which is thornless and everbearing. I noticed today they have flower buds on them. I do hope the freeze tonight doesn't get them. There is a nursery about 30 minutes from me they grows many varieties of berries and sells to the public.

Thanks the reason I was asking is I sometimes buy plants or seeds off ebay and I don't want to use someone that is selling the wrong plants.
I am sorry they are not working out for you. I would take pics and show them and tell them this is not what I ordered and see what they say. I would not hurt to try.
If they have a nursery maybe someone made a mistake and they might fix it.

First thing they did was ask for pics and I was more then happy to send them and then they told me it was because of new rootstock// I tried asking a couple more questions and asked for better pictures of what they should look like and they arnt messaging me back now but they have added more plants to there store since :-/

I'm sad I don't think i will be using them anymore
