Hi, I'm a first-time homeowner. I just bought one potted Chester Thornless blackberry and one potted Latham raspberry from the local nursery to see how they'll do. Now I'm struggling to know where to plant them. I don't have much space and also don't want to plant overly aggressive plants too close to the boundary if they'll be a nuisance for my neighbors. That being said, I'd love more privacy and if these varieties are not too aggressive have thought about using them to create a natural fence, adding more plants next year. I've thought of planting a row of the raspberries on the west side and of blackberries on the east side of my backyard, running north-south down the side on a slope. Is this a good or bad idea? Or, what if I left a path for picking between the fence and the row of bushes. Would that help? How aggressive are these plants?
