    Taking Cutting From Blackberry Bush

    I've been out walking the last few evenings and tried a few different routes. I found a couple of places where blackberries are growing.

    What's the best way of taking cuttings? I think my mum has some cloning gel she used for roses. Do I just take a cutting, dip it in the gel and put it in water till it roots?

    Is there a particular place on the plant to take the cutting from?

    Cheers.

    Never tried it, but Blackberries tend to grow "air roots" and I'd just cut one off and plant it up. They also layer themselves into the soil, so you could look for one of these and again, just cut it off.

    Hope this is some help.

      Blackberries root from the tip. You need to peg down a tip with a hairpin or something, wait until it's rooted, then dig it up

        Have a root about and see if you can find a bit. If they're wild then make sure you plant them somewhere that isn't going to drive you mad.
        I know some wild ones that spike tyres if you go over them!
