Disappointing sight when we removed the row cover from our blackberries on a rotating cross-arm trellis. The plants and trellis are laid down and covered during the winter for protection from cold.
It appears that the protected environment also appealed to a critter (likely a rabbit), who snacked on blackberry bark and girdled many canes. He, she or they preferred the variety Triple Crown over Natchez, Columbia Star or Obsidian. The girdled canes will have to be removed along with a lot of fruit they would have produced this summer.
