| Gave someone a thornless blackberry transplant and pruned the ends for ease of transport. Stuck the pruned ends in water inside the house two weeks ago. Leaves are still green. Had empty primocanes and one fruiting floricane. The floricane doesn't look good at all. But the primocanes do. Just wondering if this is a futile effort or if it will work after a while. Thank you. |

| I was reading the other day that someone did it successfully with red raspberry, so it might be possible. I'm actually trying it right now with black raspberry cuttings, just for fun. |

| Last year I tried only a couple in water and a couple in potting soil. The water version didn't work. Potting soil did. However, that was only a small experiment. |

| I sure know the blackberries send out shoots underground to areas way away from the original!! I have to yank/dig out several that are coming up in the flower beds from the plants quite a ways away! I know the seeds dropped by birds will germinate too but those are easy to pull out... not the long root system underground sent out by the main plants! Mine are the thornless Triple Crown black berries. I have given cuttings of the long roots from the main plant to friends & neighbors & they have rooted well for them. |

| OK. Thanks again. It doesn't cost anything to let them sit until something happens or until I can tell that it won't. I might whip up some willow water and change the water in the bottle. |
