I had a bit of a problem getting them going- my three plants. It just kept raining!!! When I did finally get them planted -Something dug them up! I found the plants and replanted them. Now they are small but thriving. I may not get berries this year but I'm excited to see how they produce next year!

When my 4 plants arrived...

When my 4 plants arrived I was concerned that they were so small. So, I decided to plant them in 3 gallon pots instead of directly in there final location. Now, 3 months later, they have 3 foot canes in each direction. So now, I am wondering if I can transfer them into their permanent location since the weather is si hot. They are beautiful plants and hope to have TONS of blackberries next year.

After receiving my plants

After receiving my plants, I planted them, watered them, have them running on a trellis. In the spring, after their first winter, one plant did not come back. I informed Doyles and immediately received a replacement plant. BEst service, from my standpoint, in the plant business.

Doyles integrity is beyond question

Doyles integrity is beyond question. All I did was mention on line that some of my plants from last summer had failed to survive winter and a week later a package arrived with replacement plants. They took it upon themselves to look up my information just from my comment for shipping. How could anyone expect more.
