Description

A blackberry breakthrough! The first and only blackberry of its kind, with pale ivory drupelets and all the blackberry flavor and juiciness you’d want. A exciting new variety that grows more in a long-lived, upright shrub form than a vine, so it needs no trellising. Produces on second-year canes. A reliable producer for a decade or more with proper care and feeding, with fruit that doesn’t leak, and stores and freezes very well. Stunning in a fruit salad and simply delicious out-of-hand. Good disease-resistance, too. Self-pollinating, but yields bigger crops when planted near a different blackberry variety with a similar bloom time. May be covered by USPP #20,234 or other patents. Nettleton Creamy White cultivar.

My Hardiness Zone ?

The USDA hardiness zones offer a guide to varieties that will grow well in certain climates. Each zone corresponds to the minimum winter temperatures experienced in a given area. Make sure that your hardiness zone lies within the zone compatability range of this variety before ordering.

Pollination

This variety is self pollinating.

In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!

When I search the cultivar Nettletons Creamy White what I'm reading says that they have thorns. This is tagged as thornless. Is it really thornless?

Chels on Feb 6, 2019

BEST ANSWER: This is the 'Polar Berry' cultivar. 'Nettleton's Creamy White' is a different cultivar that has thorns. 'Polar Berry' is thornless, which is one of the characteristics that makes it so attractive.

This blackberry produces fruit on second-year canes. Are canes hardy to zone 5? Will canes survive zone 5 winters?

Lenka on Feb 3, 2019

BEST ANSWER: This variety is called "Polar" for a reason, and it is hardy to Zone 5. It's always good to mulch for the winter as insurance, but this variety should thrive in your area.
