   Taking cuttings of blackberries for propagation just doesn't seem to be the path to Total Aryan Victory, despite what the internet consensus seems to be.
   
   Tip rooting blackberries from spring to autumn:
   1. Bury tip of blackberry cane in pot of soil.
   2. Keep soil moist
   3. Three to four weeks later check for roots
   4. If rooted, cut off 12" away from new rooting. If not fully rooted, wait a week and check again
   5. If rooting pot is small, immediately transplant to appropriate sized pot or into ground
   
   It's just that easy.

     @NailBomb I usually dig out primocanes that shoot out a bit far from the original and stick those in pots. I haven't tried clippings. I may try next year when I'm trimming the tips to stimulate lateral growth.

     @NailBomb I have a boysenberry that has propagated itself to 3 or 4 new plants through the tips of the canes. Other than root splitting that's really it's only chance.

     I'm all about tip rooting now; "Tip Rooting Supremacy" as the jew calls it. The donating canes still flower and fruit, so even if the rooting failed for some reason, I don't really lose anything.
     
     I have two trays of cuttings, down from 3 trays due to some casualties, that are barely doing anything despite getting all the primo treatment for almost two months. The tip rooted canes were just just watered once a week and are already established AND a foot long in one month. If I had tip rooted everything instead of taking cuttings, I would have already surpassed my target for blackberry propagation.

     @NailBomb before the storm ripped everything up I was trying to get my boysenberry to root in a pot. I quadrupled my strawberries this year with the runners but the boysenberry never rooted in the pot. Thankfully it has a few tip propagated siblings I will probably transplant in the spring

     I adopted a store bought strawberry plant that was on its death bed and on its way to the garbage can. It made a miraculous recovery and I'm looking forward to propogating that little guy next year. I also picked up a pack of strawbweey seeds to give that a whirl. I see people in the city selling small potted runners for $5 ea and looking at how many runners my neighbour is getting, this seems like a potential cash generator for extraneous garden supplies.

     @NailBomb same boat. I got 4 from the feed shop they were gonna toss last year and this year I have maybe 20. I have a few in pots and they started running so I've guided their runners into other pots, and I transplanted one around to the front of the house and it has already created 3 new small ones.
