Pollination Not Required

Great all-around blackberry — firm but not tart.

This is one of the most productive plants of its kind, thriving across various climates. The fruit maintains its firmness, color, and doesn’t leak, even under the southern heat. It’s well-suited to hot, dry conditions. The productive canes of this plant produce berries that are ideal for fresh eating, preserves, and baking. It is a summer-bearing floricane, thornless and semi-erect, typically ripening in late season around July.
