Click for Blackberry Care Guide

Semi-erect vigorous productive blackberry. the story behind the plant deserves telling. Bill Schultz of the North American Fruit Explorers, upon visiting an experimental station in WA state, was told of a two-acre test plot of seedling thorn less blackberries that were going to be removed. He sampled the whole 2 acres and found one seedling outstanding in the field. He sent a sample of the plant to Edible Landscaping. We've had it at the nursery for years an it has become a favorite of visitors. It has a very long period of ripening and fruits for 6-8 weeks with lots of berries at every picking. Space 5' apart in 5' wide rows or 6' circle for one plant. Zones 6-8.
