Rubus 'Triple Crown'
Thornless Blackberry, Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry
Triple Crown Blackberry bears large, glossy black fruit on vigorous, thornless canes. The sweet berries are useful fresh and in preserves, juice, or desserts.
Its long canes need room and support, or a regular pruning system that keeps the fruiting framework manageable. This is a productive choice for a dedicated berry row.
Tie canes to a trellis. Pruning new growth and laterals can reduce the space needed while keeping the fruit within reach.
