Very popular for its variety of uses.The blackberry has a wonderful flavor. Great for eating fresh or processing into jams, syrups and pies. We have selected our favorites for the Pacific Northwest but also they also do well in many zones throughout the country.
Choose from prickly or thornless blackberry brambles. Trailing blackberries and semi-erect plants require some type of support such as a trellis. However, there are also erect blackberries that can be grown freestanding and will form a thicket. Blackberries are self-pollinating but benefit from another variety for higher yields.
Marionberry is very popular in the Pacific Northwest and is considered the standard of excellence for blackberries.
Black Diamond and Columbia Star are our thornless trailing blackberries. Similar tasting to a classic Marionberry but hardier and no thorns!
Boysenberry and Loganberry are hybrids of Raspberry x Trailing Blackberries with similar management and trailing growth. The Dewberry (Rubus caesius) is also related to trailing blackberries and has gray-blue berries that are very juicy.
Thornless blackberries grow semi-erect but will need some support. They have great flavor, high yields, and are easier to prune. Triple Crown is our favorite thornless cultivar.
