Polar Berry™ Blackberry Plant
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.
