Description

Variety with large yields, great taste, months-long harvest period. The deep black blackberries grow all summer long on a thornless, upright column. This 2nd generation is a further development of the original Navaho® with a very long harvest period, even higher yields and even larger and tastier fruit. Very resistant to many diseases.

Non hybrid

Frostproof

Growing tips

Blackberries can be planted all year round in frost-free weather. However, spring is best suited. The location should be sunny to semi-shady and sheltered from the wind. Blackberries thrive in loose, humus-rich soil. Loosen the root ball a little with your hands before planting. This makes it easier to move outdoors. Dip it in water and plant it. Then trim all the shoots to half a meter with secateurs. Regular pruning is important. More fruit is formed on trained shoots. You can harvest fresh blackberries from July to October. Only harvest soft, black blackberries. They do not ripen after harvesting. After harvesting a shoot, cut it off close to the ground. Direct new shoots straight back up for next year's harvest. Young shoots are the fruit bearers for the following year.
