Blackberries are a native American fruit that grows as a small flowering shrub or a trailing vine. Huge commercial operations are predominately in the mid-west, however, you-pick blackberry farms are very popular from the east coast to the west coast. Blackberries are easy to grow and have a productive life span of 15 to 20 years. Willis Orchard Company offers both traditional thorny blackberries and hybrid thornless varieties--both are excellent for fresh eating, jams, jellies, or cobblers.
