The other is the Balsam. Both are/were available at Baker Creek seeds. I startedthis inside and it got about a foot tall before I set it out. Shittu grass depleted soil that wouldn't grow a weed and needed something - and this bitch is thriving.

I added the small ones later and have another inside I'll set somewhere else. I don't think they'll survive the winter, but the whole thing looks plastic/fake, especialy the stem. That thing is solid, if you thunp it it sounds like a watermelon.

I have about 5 varieties of blackberry that ripen at different times and have different growing habits - These "birds nest" blackberries actually have colorful flowers instead of white, and the berries when they ger ripe are YUUUUUUGE and they're very sweet. But not as prolific and the vines are also ginormous.
