• Question

  If the blackberry is burned,will the roots live and allows germination of blackberries?

  Answer

  Dear guiroyaby, yes, but it would depend on the intensity of the fire. A very hot fire that harmed the underground organs would be capable of killing the plants. However, light fires that removed competition and did not penetrate deep into the ground could be useful for this species. It could also allow space and light for the germination of seed-banked fruits of blackberry. Best wishes.
