      If these are "wild" blackberries , they fruit on last year's growth .   
   Those canes die after fruiting and can be pruned - in fact they must be   
   pruned or you end up with a big mess of dead canes in the way of picking   
   any fruit . And I have the scars to prove it , that's why I planted   
   thornless .
