Great
video, I think you covered the important stuff. Pretty much an identical scenario here as you, though the patch we have is 25 years old and was grown from wild seed right from china. I've never been able to get any to propagate from cuttings, though I'm trying direct seed this year and hoping for some decent results.
It's hard to tell from my poor resolution, but are those the
Thornless variety?

Just to connect the dots for people interested in growing them, one of the few ways to stop them from going out of control is to make sure you fertilize the surrounding areas somehow. They would love any rototilling and compaction. (they started to grow on the side of our gravel road)

I usually have my freezer full, so after I've used some fresh I dehydrate the rest and grind em for use in tea. They tend to have a bitter after-taste when eaten raw, so it's best to mix them with something else - I use them in my oatmeal with serviceberries.
