In short: Learn how to expand your blackberry and loganberry harvest by creating new plants from existing ones. This guide demonstrates two straightforward propagation methods that yield results in just a few months.

Propagation through layering is a reliable way to increase your berry stock without needing seeds or complex equipment. The process involves two primary techniques: tip layering and simple layering. By guiding the stems into the soil, you encourage the plant to develop its own root system, effectively cloning the parent plant.

This method is highly effective for blackberries and loganberries. Once the stems are properly layered, you can expect to have established new plants ready for potting in approximately 3 months. The video walks through the entire cycle, from the initial setup to the final stage of digging up and transplanting your successful new cuttings.
