goats. they love them. That and roses....
Organic, non-GMO, all natural, wild grown, gluten free berries.just make sure to label it artisanal or at least wild,
You will never make it as a marketing person, Torvy. You make too much sense.See, but he already sprayed them so the organic police would sue. The opposite of organic is inorganic. Inorganic blackberries would be like those glass grapes from the 70s. All fruit is organic....sorry, just a pet peeve. I hate the term organic when what it really means is "grown without 'store-bought' chemicals.". If that is important to people, fine, but organic already had a meaning. Come up with a better word.
Interesting article, thanks.I have cleared about 15 acres of Himalayan Blackberry, and some Evergreen. Nasty things, mostly the Himalayan. These are not trellising berries people from other areas think of. These are monsters. Canes nearly 2 inch at the base. Able to grow up into trees 2 stories high. Able to produce shoots reaching 30 feet in one year, tip-rooting where they hit the ground.
I am able to get them under control in the open areas where I can mow. I have not been able to get them under control along fences or around trees.
Crossbow in the fall (not the spring) when the berries are taking nutrients down to the root-balls helps.
Washington and Oregon have California to blame for these beasts. Too bad the guy did not quit after the Russet Potato.

Those tangled brambles are everywhere in the city, the legacy of an eccentric named Luther Burbank whose breeding experiments with crops can still be found on many American dinner plates.www.npr.org
Absolutely; asbestos, mercury, and uranium are completely natural too.Aren't crude oil and snake venoim organic, too?
