Easier harvesting: Trellises keep the berries within easy reach, making harvesting a breeze and minimizing back strain from bending over.

Improved air circulation: Trellises promote better air circulation around the canes, reducing the risk of fungal diseases that thrive in humid environments.

Space optimization: Trellises allow you to utilize vertical space, maximizing your garden area and potentially allowing for more blackberry plants.
