Hi there, I'm a little short on space but would like to grow some blackberries in a container. I am looking for peoples' POV on the 2 dwarf varieties, Purple Opal and Little Black Prince. Thank you

     I have a dwarf blackberry, think it's Purple Opal. Last year it was in a pot, sat there and did very little, no fruit, only small amount of leaf growth. I'm putting this down to a lack of feeding/watering by me, since this year I got fed up and planted it in an out of the way shady spot. It's not a dwarf blackberry anymore.

    So, I can't help with comparison, but do recommend a big pot and plenty of feeding/watering.
