About This Plant
A vigorous, thornless blackberry that produces deep, glossy black berries with a rich, sweet-tart flavor. Heavy clusters of fruit ripen through summer, making it a rewarding choice for home gardens where fresh berries can be enjoyed straight from the plant. Its thornless canes make harvesting much easier, especially when trained along a fence or support.
Planting & Care
How to Plant
Choose a spot with 6+ hours of direct sun. Dig a hole 2–3 times as wide as the pot but no deeper, with the top of the root ball slightly above ground level. Loosen circling roots and backfill with the native soil. Water deeply after planting and add 2–3 in of mulch, keeping it off the stems. Hardy in USDA zones 4-8.
Watering & Feeding
Water deeply 1–2 times a week for the first season, about 1 in per week. Keep soil evenly moist, especially during heat and dry spells. Feed in early spring with a fertilizer for fruiting plants.
Pruning & Seasonal Care
Prune in late winter while dormant, removing dead, weak and crossing branches. Mulch in late fall to protect roots through the first winter.
