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.
