    Features

    We tasted hundreds of different blackberries so you wouldn’t have to! From amongst many, many trials, we selected Taste of Heaven thornless blackberry for its super large and super sweet berries. Unlike some options that are all seed and no juice, the ratio is perfect with these inch long fruits. You’ll get to enjoy harvesting for several weeks in the summertime and you won’t get cut once, as this variety is thornless. This variety produces fruit on second-year canes, so you don’t technically need to support it if you keep it well pruned. If you plan to plant a few of them, you’ll find it easier to harvest and trim them if they are trellised.

    Maintenance Notes: 

    Flowers and fruit develop on second-year canes, so be careful when you go to prune. Only cut back very old stems in the springtime before the plant starts to grow.
