thornless blackberry
I've had one in a hanging basket for three years, with no sign of blossom.
Any hints or tips?

I’ll try. I read the RHS advice page and cut it back to a single stem that once given some canes to climb shot up to about 2m last year. I think that’s your biggest problem, I had mine in a pot for a couple of years and nothing really happened, they need something to grip. This year I just repotted with some slow release fertiliser and the main stem has loads of side shoots. Also moved it to a very sunny but protected area against a south facing fence panel.
Also took @>>>>>> lead on the lemongrass, all five have roots!

A good friend gave us this thornless blackberry for our wedding (four years this week) and for the first time ever after some googling, pruning, repotting and proper structure it’s got buds and bees galore. Fuck off pigeons.
