'Adrienne' Blackberry Plant
- With its thornless stems and relatively biddable nature, compared with other more vigorous varieties, 'Adrienne' is the perfect blackberry plant for people limited on space and those who don't want to shred their arms to pieces each time they try to pick fruit!
- The blackberries themselves are plum, juicy and boast excellent flavour. Eat them fresh from the plant or use them to make a range of dishes and desserts (blackberry coulis is a personal favourite).
- Blackberry plants are designated by the RHS as one of its Plants for Pollinators, indicating its significant appeal to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
- With good levels of firmness, you can expect to freeze any surplus of blackberries you have without worrying about the quality being affected.
- Train your blackberry plant in a fan shape against a fence, wall or wire trellis. Alternatively, you can train it up and over a pergola or archway to give your garden that hedgerow feel.
