CLANTON, Ala. -- Blackberry production systems, variety trial updates and insect and disease issues of blackberries will be on the agenda June 11 at a blackberry and high-tunnel workshop in Clanton.Hosted by when the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station, the Blackberry Spotlight Workshop will look at work currently being conducted at the Chilton Research and Extension Center. The three-hour workshop begins at 3 p.m. at the Clanton facility. "Blackberry production for large- and small-scale commercial plantings has increased in recent years," said Gary Gray, a Regional Extension agent for commercial horticulture.
