A friend of mine gave me 3 cuttings from a Natchez Blackberry. This verity of blackberry was developed by The University of Arkansas to be hardy in the southern zones, including zone 9.
After receiving the cuttings I dipped them in rooting hormone and put them into a mixture of peat and pearlite. Surprisingly it only took about two weeks for the cuttings to root. Right after the cuttings put out roots about 50% of the length of the cutting I planted the new Natchez Blackberry plants into small containers, and this is where they are now. I am going to wait until they develop a strong root system before planting them outside!
