Hello,
I posted couple weeks ago about my triple crown blackberry, which has not put out new canes yet this year.
@krismoriah recommended that I post here about this. Here’s a picture (TC in the middle; Ponca to the left; PAF to the right)
Although the original raised bed is only 1 ft wide, I know from prior years that the roots spread out into my yard (canes were growing in my yard). So I guess at this point I won’t be getting a TC crop next year. My TC berries are just starting to ripen and as I’m tasting them and seeing the SWD already invading, I’m starting to think maybe I don’t even like TC that much. I’d be better off with something that ripens early or late to avoid SWD and maybe something quite a bit different than Ponca and PAF.
So, I’m now asking you for a recommendation. If I were to replace TC with some other blackberry (or other hybrid) to round out my collection, what would you recommend?
Note: I already grow raspberries (Prelude, Royalty, Caroline, Anne) so am not interested in another raspberry (but would consider black raspberry).
