Bring the family together for easy, thorn-free berry picking with Blackberry Triple Crown, named for its three standout strengths: exceptional flavor, high productivity, and strong plant vigor. This productive variety delivers large, juicy-sweet blackberries over an extended harvest period of up to five weeks, providing plenty for fresh snacking and homemade treats.

Triple Crown is an excellent choice for extending the backyard blackberry season.
