Navaho Thornless Blackberry or a similar variety?

Does anyone else grow Navaho Thornless Blackberry or a similar variety? I was under the impression they were only going to grow as big as a raspberry cane but they are huge. Does anyone know how big these canes grow :?:

I have Triple Crown thornless. The canes grow 8-10 feet and will root to the ground if allowed to touch down.

I have a friend whose Navaho Thornless canes are at least 15 to 20 feet long. Like a hedge going up ten or more feet then drooping down again to the ground. Mine are new this year and not over three feet long but growing. And the fruit is absolutely delicious and as big as your thumb. Great choice.

Thank you for the information, at least now I know what I'm in for.

If I had to guess I'd say my plant in approaching 17 feet now. Way bigger than I thought it would get but at least I should get a lot of berries!
