Hello! Complete newbie to gardening. I am on my second year with 4 blackberry plants in my yard: a Ouachita, an Arapaho, and two Triple Crowns.
The Arapaho grew tons of frilly-leaved stalks around it this year. They are as tall as the rest of the plant, and the fruiting canes thrived in the center. I assumed those stalks were suckers--normal propagation--even though the leaves are more delicate and multi-lobed.
My husband says they are weeds and he intends to cut them all to the ground.
I haven't been able to find any photos of a plant, as most people focus on the main attraction: enormous berries.
Does anyone have experience with Arapaho plants? I don't want to lose a year of growth.
Thanks!
