The kennel was five feet tall, as am I, and had a chain link top, like the sides of the kennel. It provide a great arbor for the blackberry, shade for my dogs, and easy to harverst fruit for me. I now live in GA and need an arbor for 4 new blackberry bushes that were given to me recently. I don't need a kennel but am looking for a more decorative but equally functional choice. Too many web sites were for Arbor mist fruit wine. Years ago in Spokane WA I had blackberries that self seeded in my garden near my dog kennel.

It never hurts to use the plants nature has already placed in the area, and should you begin your blackberry arbor by using the plants growing wild in your neighborhood, you can always "give back" a few berries into the local woods (assuming the bird droppings don't do that for you) for future wild plants in the coming years.

I grew up on a farm where we had an abundance of wild blackberries. They were wonderful! I have never enjoyed the cultivated ones that friends grew in their garden, because they have such large seeds. The little wild ones had very small seeds that didn't hurt my teeth or digestion. I think there is a wild plant growing near here. I wonder if I could dig part of it and try something like you have done. I never thought about growing wild species in my garden. You are so clever! I found you on Blotanical and came over to read awhile. Glad I did! This is a very thought provoking post. I grew up on a farm where we had an abundance of wild blackberries. They were wonderful!
