[Strawberry patch]

Howdy folks...I have a blackberry cane in the garden and it has produced plenty of growth but no fruit,this has now been in the ground for about 2 yrs..Can anyone tell me what is going on here and do you think its time to dig it out..

Blackberries produce fruit on the canes made the previous year. Have you done any pruning? Was there are flower? Is it in the ground or a pot? I think you pror just need to give it a bit longer.

Morning wendy..My plant is in the ground,The 1st year gave me no growth,This year has gave me plenty of growth but no flowers..so the growth it is producing this year will give me fruit next year?

Yes.
Blackberries grow canes in year one, and those canes fruit in year two, then are removed at the end of year two to allow the new canes which grew during year two to replace them in year three.

Agree with FB, this years canes will flower and fruit next year. Don't do any pruning this Autumn! As an aside my blackberry usually fruits August into September but this year is fruiting now. This is unfortunate as I'm about to go on holiday and have plenty of other soft fruit e.g. raspberries to pick at the moment.
