Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry Plant

Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry delivers one of the heaviest yields of any thornless blackberry available — up to 13 pounds of large, glossy, firm, sweet berries per plant in early August, arriving late in the blackberry season when most other thornless varieties have finished. The sweet flavor with smaller seeds than wild blackberries makes them outstanding for fresh eating as well as pies, baking, jams, and freezing. The semi-erect, thornless canes set fruit uniformly for clean, efficient harvesting without scratched arms. Only 300–450 chill hours, heat-tolerant, and productive across a wide Zones 5–9 range. Self-pollinating, bears in 1–2 years.

Up to 13 Pounds Per Plant — Outstanding Late-Season Yield

The yield is what Triple Crown is known for among serious home gardeners. Thirteen pounds of large, glossy black berries per established plant is a genuinely substantial harvest from a single planting — enough for fresh eating through the August harvest window plus meaningful quantities for freezing, baking, and preserves. The uniformly set fruit on the semi-erect canes makes harvesting efficient, with the berries presenting cleanly rather than hiding behind tangled growth.

Sweet Flavor, Smaller Seeds — Better Than Wild Blackberries

Triple Crown’s flavor is sweet rather than tart-forward, with smaller seeds than wild blackberries that let the flesh and flavor take center stage. The large, glossy, firm berries hold up through picking and handling, freeze well for year-round use, and produce outstanding pies, cobblers, and jams where the sweet, rich blackberry character carries through every preparation.

Early August — The Late Chapter of the Thornless Blackberry Season

Triple Crown’s early August ripening arrives after Arapaho (early June), Natchez (mid-June), and Chester (late July), extending the thornless blackberry season into August for the longest possible fresh harvest. For growers planting a succession of thornless varieties, Triple Crown is the natural final variety that keeps fresh berries coming through the end of summer.
