Blackberries are the gift that keep on giving! Fairly low maintenance, productive, and tasty. And you can sell the runners for cash or give them away to spread the love!

Awesome, do you know what variety they are? They look to be thornless.
In my neck of the woods Himalayan blackberries are a super invasive pest that have to be fought tooth and nail, as other commenters mentioned. But the thornless varieties are nice!
They are the Sweetie Pie variety. I really like it, very productive and the fruit is tasty. And yes, they are thornless. I have some thorny raspberries that I made the mistake of putting in a pot where they could escape into soil below and they've reached out into my yard now. That was definitely a lesson learned!
