This vigorous, upright to semi-trailing shrub produces deliciously sweet and juicy berries that are perfect for fresh eating, baking, or preserves. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5-9 with a recommended temperature range of 55-75°F. During autumn, the plant does not develop noticeable fall colors but is valued for its deep green foliage throughout the growing season. White to pink flowers precede the production of glossy black fruits, typically ready for harvest in midsummer. Preferring well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil, this plant can reach a mature height of 4-6 feet. Its compact habit makes it suitable for small spaces or container gardening. Deer resistance is moderate, although protection may be needed in areas of high browsing. Shaping as a dense, bushy form, this blackberry variety grows well with proper support structures like trellises or stakes. A fantastic option for fruit growers or backyard gardens!
