Yes, I have noticed that! The ones I bought from the store just died and they were in some good soil. These are just growing in the real sandy soil we have and doing really well.

My wife tells me that they need acidic soil—same as blueberries. So we use a different mix for blackberries and blue berries than we use in our raised vegetable garden beds. The problem with our blackberries is that they had been in large pots for a couple of years and were not at all happy with being transplanted.
Now that you say that the soil here is very acidic as I had to lime the garden to cut it down so my other veggies would grow. I think that is why the ones I bought and planted died because of that. I did not realize that little aspect of berries. Now I know how to get them to grow. Thank You! Learn something new everyday!
