Blackberries would probably learn to coexist with mint if they can share enoug root space.

We have 3 kinds of mint and I've already pulled fistfuls out of the ground where they're encroaching on neighboring plants. We planted it in the garden next to our big oak tree for our daughter to nibble when she's out there with her friend, but it's probably the last season we'll keep it.

Bold to assume the mint gives you a choice in whether you "keep" it.

I'm a masochist. I have mint on one side of the house and wisteria on the other. I should round it out with bamboo and blackberries. Make my home into a rhizome cage match.
