'Triple Crown' Thornless Blackberry Plant
- Performs well in one category? Okay. In two categories? Yeah, that's pretty good. In three categories?! Alright, now you've really gotten our attention...
- 'Triple Crown' is a blackberry prized for its flavour, vigour and overall productivity, hitting big in all three areas.
- The stems are pretty much thornless, making for easier, scratch-free harvesting (and making the plant more child-friendly, too).
- Preceding the appearance of the fruits, 'Triple Crown' produces delicate white flowers in spring, which are highly-favoured by pollinating insects like bees and butterflies.
- Eat your blackberries fresh, or if you can resist scoffing them all at once, use them in crumbles, cakes and coulis.
