Easy to pick berries with great flavor that has garnered rave reviews!
Enjoy picking berries with outstanding flavor that consistently receive glowing reviews! The Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry plants are prolific and robust, producing large, shiny, and firm black fruits. These berries have a delicious mix of sweetness and tartness, making them ideal for pies and other baked goods. They have smaller seeds compared to wild blackberries.
The thornless, semi-erect canes allow for uniform fruiting, facilitating easy harvesting. Triple Crown is perfectly suited for commercial berry farms, pick-your-own operations, and residential gardens. Impressively, each plant can produce up to 13 lbs. (about 5.9 kg) of fruit.
How to Grow Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry Plants This variety is a summer-bearing floricane that peaks with a substantial late-season harvest in early August. It’s heat-tolerant and capable of growing in partial shade, though it thrives in full sun. Plant in well-draining soil and ensure ample watering during the first growing season.
The semi-erect canes of the Triple Crown benefit from support, such as a trellis, particularly when laden with fruit. Prune new canes to heights of 5-6 feet and maintain lateral branches at 3-4 feet. Post-harvest, remove the old fruiting canes.
Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry plants are self-pollinating and can also propagate through tip rooting, where the tips of canes are encouraged to root into the soil. This variety requires around 300 chill hours to produce fruit.
