    Blackberries grow in thick brambles with nasty thorns. It also has a hardy root system that allows it to regrow if you just cut it down. They also spread a few feet per year, so keeping them contained is a constant (and often painful) battle. If you go too long without paying attention to it, your entire yard will be a mess of thorny brambles that are nearly impossible to kill.

      or you can put them on wires like grapes. idk if it’s unusual luck or skill issue, but my blackberries get stem rust every couple of years and they have to be cut down, they do grow back from roots but it keeps them from spreading too far
