   The thorny BB? It just grows naturally like a coil of barbed wire. Can use and like manure and lots of water. Cutting off the the dead won’t hurt it any and promotes new growth.
   The non thorny needs staking I believe(my neighbor had that berry) I did not care for it over the thorny, flavour wise.

   Blackberries grow on the canes that came up last year. The canes only put out fruit for one season.

   Cut off at the ground any canes that produced berries this year. For the new canes, you need to tie them to a trellis. They will have berries next spring.

   Good Luck!!
