  Hello, I just want a clear explanation of blackberry roots, are they deep rooted? What type of root it has. I got different info on line, so I need to clarify it. Thanks for the help in Advance.

  Answer

  Dear guiroyaby, here is a little information from the horticulture department: "Blackbery roots usually don't go very deeply in the soil, but the plants can be tough to dig in the summer when they are azctively growing. Plants are easy to pop out in early spring when dormant or before they start really growing, and in fact you should always dig them and plant them when they are dormant – planting in active growth or leaf sets the plants back."
