Rasberry/ Blackberry bushes

I'm so not with it today.... i have already posted this but in the wrong forum.

Anyhow here goes..... can i grow these bushes in containers? If so how big would they need to be?

Mine are in deep 40-50cm pots. As they are just recently planted no photo, however my Mum's were in smaller pots (same 'size', less deep) and they were growing really big (around the shed).

So yes they can, and not that big :-)

Mine will be going into flower buckets, so they are quite deep.Thanks Zenith.

I have raspberries growing in B&Q orange buckets, and they seem to be thriving. I grew one in a similar sized square container last year and it's huge now and absolutely covered in buds. Can't speak for blackberries, but my mum planted one in quite a small pot and it seems to be growing okay...

I have a boysenberry in a medium sized plastic trug. It's grown really well and is just getting ready to flower for the first time.
