Description
The Triple Crown blackberry is a popular, thornless, semi-erect cultivar known for high yields of large, sweet, and flavorful berries. Released by the USDA in 1996, it is favored for home gardens due to its vigor and lack of thorns
. It is hardy in zones 5-9 and ripens in mid-summer.
- Fruit: Large, glossy, sweet, and aromatic; excellent for fresh eating and, according to Silver Creek Nursery Ltd., baking.
- Habit: Semi-erect, growing 5-6 feet high. While it can grow as a shrub, providing a trellis or fence support is recommended.
- Thornless: Yes, makes picking safe and easy.
- Harvest Time: Mid-summer (typically July-August).
- Light/Soil: Requires full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
- Pollination: Self-pollinating (no second plant needed).
Care Tips:
- Pruning: cut back all old, fruited, two-year-old canes to the ground after harvest, and tip-prune new canes in summer to encourage branching.
- Spacing: Plant 3-5 feet apart.
- Fertilizer: Heavy feeders.
These berries are well-suited for temperate climates and offer a great, easy-to-manage, and highly productive option compared to thorny varieties.
