A robust and sprawling deciduous shrub, this cultivar is prized for its deliciously sweet and juicy blackberries. It thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9, with recommended growing temperatures between 70-85°F during the growing season. The plant exhibits a mounded to semi-upright habit, dense with thorny canes, and reaches a mature height of 4-6 feet. In spring, it produces small white to pale pink flowers, which give way to glossy black fruits in mid to late summer. Fall foliage may exhibit soft yellow tones before dormancy. Best grown in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil with good organic matter, it requires full sun to ensure optimal fruit production. Deer-resistant, this high-yielding variety is perfect for edible gardens while also attracting pollinators.
