There will be underground suckers where they are growing; to remove them they need to be dug out. riotpoof881 Columbus, OH July 03, 2009 03:43 PM Post #6773435 If it's a blackberry, then it will have fruit on it? That would be awesome. I definitely won't get rid of it then. Metrosideros Keaau, HI July 03, 2009 03:52 PM Post #6773481 Yes it will have fruit. It is best to make a hedgerow with the plant that you can manage for berries.

If it's a blackberry bush, I understand how it could be tempting to keep it. Yum!
