Growing Guide
Soil: well-drained, fertile (pH 6.0–6.5)
Thornless semi-erect blackberry; one of the hardiest thornless varieties for zone 5. Large, sweet fruit in late July–August. Canes grow 8–10ft — needs a sturdy trellis. Tip-prune new canes in summer at 3–4ft to encourage lateral branching and higher yield. Remove spent floricanes after harvest.
