Those aren't wild blackberries, they are the thornless variety. We have them and they get as big as your thumb. I think they are sour, maybe there are newer varieties that are sweet. We will have bunches of them in a few weeks. I prefer the black raspberries, they are just ripening. Nothing can beat black raspberry jelly. too bad I am diabetic. I haven't had any luck with the sugar-free pectin so far but will keep on trying.
Hi Alice, I have a bunch of thornless blackberries but they're not as big as these I got at the store. The thornless are sour unless you leave them on the vine a day or two after they turn black. I have those nets over mine cause the birds were getting into them so I can wait to pick them till they are very ripe.
Thank you guys for your comments...they are oops were very good...Good luck on everyone elses blackberries.
