Yes, and they truly are thornless. I've never been hurt by any of them, which is great. :)
The raspberry plants are small and slow-spreading, so they don't take over an area easily. It's taken many years of splitting them out to get as many as I have now. Which still isn't tons. They're the "Strawberry Shortcake" variety. Unfortunately, the annoying Japanese beetles like them, and I lose half my crop every year to them now. :(
I don't remember where I got the first thornless blackberries, but they're the typical canes-aiming-everywhere blackberries that can take over if you don't work to contain them. But large berries. And the bees like them, which is good.
