Thornless blackberry

[Normans Mum]

Hi all
I have recently purchased a thornless blackberry 'Merton'. Has anyone else got one of these and please can you tell me how it performs as a trained against a fence.
Thanks !

I had a Merton which fruited well. Against the fence should be fine as long as it's not in permanent shade. Don't have one at the moment though. I did give it a dollop of manure every spring, and you can easily get more plants by layering a shoot which should root easily.����

My sister has had one for about 4 years now, it's doing nicely against her garden fence.

Thank you for your advice guys.
It's in its spot now, OH made fancy wire fence for me to train it and other fruit bushes up against, so we shall see....
