Blackberry cascade plants.
Living in the south of England I have just received three very healthy looking Blackberry Cascade plants in pots about nine centimetres across the top and I assume that they are for placing in hanging baskets.
I have no idea as to what size baskets I should use?
How many Blackberry plants go into a hanging baskets?
Most importantly of all how one cares for them through the winter in that such small items would easily freeze.
Could you please offer me some advice.
Many thanks.

I don't think you should worry too much about winter protection. Blackberries get their roots frozen hard in some winters, and seem to go from strength to strength, although you could keep them in a cold frame or cold greenhouse if you have one.
