About Rubus fruticosus 'Thornless Evergreen'
The Thornless Blackberry Rubus fruticosus ‘Thornless Evergreen’ is a vigorous, evergreen blackberry bush known for its thornless branches and abundant yield. In summer, it produces graceful white-pink flowers that attract many bees and other pollinators. The plant then develops delicious, dark black blackberries that ripen in late summer. Thanks to its thornless growth, the shrub is easy to care for and the blackberries are simple to pick. The plant grows best in a sunny to partially shaded location in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. It is self-pollinating, but for optimal pollination, it is better to plant two varieties together, such as the raspberry-blackberry hybrid ‘Rubus Loganberry’ or the raspberry-blackberry hybrid ‘Rubus Tayberry’.
Quality of the blackberries
The blackberries of ‘Thornless Evergreen’ are large, glossy black in color, and have a juicy, sweet flavor. The fruits ripen from August through September and grow in attractive clusters on the thornless branches.
