Description

The blackberry 'Triple Crown' puts the triple crown on the fruit: Aromatic fruit, impressive growth habit and rich yields! This exclusive and popular blackberry variety promises black, sweet-sour and vitamin-rich fruit that will delight the palate when ripe. It bears the botanical name Rubus fruticosus 'Triple Crown'. Its exceptionally large, almost black fruits have an excellent aromatic taste. This variety is undemanding, strong in growth and is a popular fruit plant for a vitamin-rich harvest from your own garden or directly from the balcony. The 'Triple Crown' blackberry has a good yield and is considered hardy. The berry bush feels at home in a nutrient and humus-rich soil. It loves both sunny and semi-shady locations. This means it can be flexibly integrated into any garden concept. This variety reaches an impressive height of up to four meters with its strong and bushy growth. A climbing aid is an advantage to give Rubus fruticosus 'Triple Crown' good support. As soon as the fruit on the canes has been harvested, the gardener cuts off the shoots directly above the ground. Only around three to five fresh shoots remain. Particular care should be taken to cut the side shoots of the new canes back to around 20 centimetres in the autumn. In this way, the blackberry retains its strength and bears many large fruits again next year.
