I've adopted a method for trellising berries from a friend that's
non-standard, but I like it. It's easy, and eliminates tying up canes.
Buy the green metal garden stakes from your garden supplier and either
6" square galvanized fencing (or reinforcing mesh from concrete would
work as well). Put in the garden stakes on either side of your berry
row, and then suspend the fence horizontally between the stakes. the
canes grow up through the fencing and are supported. I believe
this works for everything, but the truly trailing blackberries.
Good luck,
