How well I remember picking the wild blackberries on my grandma's farm in the Missouri Ozarks. Even as a kid, I thought it was great fun. The funniest was one time watching my aunt go running out of the patch, screaming like a nut. When we caught up with her, it turned out she had seen a snake. I went back to look. He was still there, a little tiny green grass snake. We gave her a bad time over that, you bet. LOL.

Where is the absolutely warmest place they grow? I don't mean hot summers, it never ever gets over 96 here, I mean warm winters.

Ya gotta watch those green snakes! but none here in the Islands,

I bought my blackberried from a local nursery. They have an Indian name like Arapaho. Sorry I don't remember any better than that.

Molamola,

I planted Triple Crown this year. Won't get berries until next year. However, they are supposed to be really good size and flavor and good for warm area climates. They are thornless as well. I don't know who would ship to your area, but lots of mail order nurseries sell them. Try Googling and see what you get.
