Blackberries are fruits often seen growing rampantly in the wild, though there are many types you can cultivate at home. They are simple to grow and the fruits you can get on varieties bred to grow in the backyard are sweeter than those commonly foraged.
The native plant is hardy in US hardiness zones 5-9 and produces white or pink flowers in spring followed by juicy berries that can be picked throughout summer and into fall, depending on the variety.
