I love blackberries, and often get annoyed when I remember they are listed as a weed. How can something which is such a noxious weed and produces fruit so easily be so expensive to buy in the shops? Do you think we should make more of this fruit? If it is such a successful plant shouldn't we be selling more of them? I know they can get out of hand, but ... what is your opinion?

I, too, like blackberries and can only purchase them in a berry mix from the supermarket freezer. My daughter, who has acreage in Victoria, also considers them a pest. It's a shame they cannot be harvested and sold in our greengrocers throughout Australia. From memory, I think the bush is quite thorny so that could be the reason nobody bothers.
