As in... a bit invasive? I have a raspberry and I'm a bit wary of it getting away from me. I just dug up the runners that escape my raised bed and they're amazingly long.

It's this in you garden or natural? I kind of want to plant one in my garden this year? I know I'll have to trim and pull but and to know if it's worth it

Garden. They are pretty easy and straightforward, I’d recommend.

I got a thornless variety, which I guess helps.

We were thinking a thornless variety as well. We love them and they are native to our area so I think we will

As someone from the PNW, I agree with the other comment. Fuck blackberries. Stupid tasty invaders.

I've only been here a few years but I've got a love hate relationship with them. My roommate last year got snagged walking near one and it took them to the ground, busted up their knee and hands. I've almost been pulled off my bike by them. They're about to completely overtake my yard we've lost maybe 4 feet between this year and last. But also fresh blackberry pie and jam for days is an amazing thing and almost makes it worth it
