Sorry, I am talking in the post about black raspberries. People
around here call all dark colored berries blackberries and I picked
up the habit. No the canes I have are real trailing black
raspberries. An acquaintance gave me three canes last spring which
are vigorous growers and very hardy. I have a picture of some
blossoms I can send you. These are mystery black raspberries which
supposedly came from Canada some time ago. I did read on internet
that there are trailing back raspberries. I showed some locals my
black currents and they called them blackberries. All the black
raspberries I have seen previously were erect.
