Blackberry is evil.

If it is not native to your country don't plant it! Nothing eats it, grows extremely quickly and is very hard to get rid of.

I mean tell that to all the birds eating my blackberries.

They are spreading seeds.... That is the point of the berries.

Nothing eats the plant.

Even goats, which famously will eat blackberry, will eat anything else first.

If I ever did get one, I'd probably want to grow it indoors anyway, if that's even possible. I'm more a city person and dont especially desire living somewhere with lawn space to maintain

Sounds like you'd be interested in hydroponics.
