Hi Allen,
Depending on variety you may not get any fruit this year - definately not much. This year think of training the canes and growing strong roots. Next year and later is when it pays off.
Since your brambles come from many sources watch for signs of virus - and immediately remove and haul away entire plants with virus symptoms. They're pretty tough once they get some roots going.
They like pH above 6. They like mulch. Slugs don't like them. - Complete opposites of the hostas.
Good luck.
