Description

Easy to pick berries with great flavor that has garnered rave reviews!

Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry plants are productive and vigorous growers, producing large, glossy black, firm fruits! With a tasty blend of sweet and tart, these berries are great for pies and baking. Seeds are smaller than those of wild blackberries.

The thornless, semi-erect canes set fruit uniformly, making for easy picking. Triple Crown is well suited for berry farms, pick-your-own operations, and backyard home gardens. This fast-growing berry plant yields 13 lbs. of fruit per plant!

How to Grow Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry Plants

This variety is a summer-bearing floricane, providing you with one large harvest late season, in early August. This is a heat-tolerant blackberry plant that can grow in partial shade but prefers full sun. Plant in well-draining soil, and water well the first season.

The semi-erect canes of the Triple Crown grow best when supported by a trellis - especially when under heavy fruit load. Prune or top new canes at 5-6 feet. Tip laterals to keep at 3-4 feet. After harvest, remove old fruiting canes.

Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry plants are self-pollinating and can be propagated by encouraging the tips of canes to root into the soil. This plant only requires about 300 chill hours.

Patiently Waiting for Spring
I received my blackberries four months ago. The five plants were well packed and healthy upon arrival. While way too early to see blackberries, I'm pleased with their growth and health so far.

Vigorous, healthy, fast growing plant
An excellent plant! After three months, this blackberry is well established, despite a hot, dry summer. I planted June 15th, and by the start of September, there were 5' climbing on the trellis.

Triple crown blackberry 6 pack
There were 6 plants in a single tray that were delivered in 2023. At first appearance, they sounded pretty small. But once planted , they started growing rapidly. Moved them to another permanent location last fall (2023). They produced quite a few berries this year. Very tasty. The plants came up with a lot of new growth this year, and need to be regularly pruned to keep them shaped. They are very healthy and promising to produce a huge crop next year (2025). Very happy with the purchase and would recommend to all.

Triple Crown - a sweet blackberry
The plants arrived well package, probably smaller than I hoped ( aren't mail order plants always smaller than imagined?) They look terrific now and made good progress as soon as they went in the ground. I'm very pleased.
