'TRIPLE CROWN' Blackberry (Rubus x fruiticosus 'triple crown')

A thornless cultivar, 'Triple Crown' is also one of the largest fruiting blackberries on the market. Best grown in moist, organically rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Intolerant of wet soils. Raised beds should be considered in areas with heavy clay soils. Plants are perennial but canes are biennial. For established shrubs, tip-prune new vegetative (non-fruiting) canes in summer. Immediately after fruit harvest, remove all canes that fruited to the ground. In late winter to early spring, remove any canes damaged by winter and thin the remaining canes to 4 or 5 strong, well-spaced canes plus trim the laterals thereof. Plants generally perform best when staked.

USDA Zones 5-8.

Self-pollinating.

Available in 2-gallon pot.
