About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
Navaho is a thornless dessert blackberry with upright, compact growth that can be kept in check even in smaller gardens. The canes stand stiffly and need less trellis structure than rambling varieties. From high summer onwards it bears firm, glossy fruit with a remarkably high sugar content over several weeks. As a self fertile variety, a single bush already delivers a generous crop that travels well.
Strikingly sweet and full of flavour with only a restrained acidity, one of the best tasting dessert blackberries. Firm to the bite, so good for snacking and for clean looking berries on a cake.
