Dutch · February 15, 2015

I planted 6 Apache and 6 Prime Jan Blackberry plants in 2013. 4 of the Apache made it through the winter of 2013/2014, but have been slow to grow and have not produced any fruit. All 6 of the Prime-Jan made it through the previous winter and have grown over four times their original size this past summer, plus produced very sweet large berries.
I would like to propagate the Prime-Jan and use on a property line as a barrier for about 300 feet. Do the Prime-Jan blackberry plants propagate well? And if so, what are the best techniques to use to do this on a large scale?
Thanks in advance.
