About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

Thornless Evergreen is a thornless, very robust blackberry grown for a heavy late summer crop. It grows vigorously and rambles widely, so give it a sturdy trellis and a little pruning discipline. The deeply cut foliage stays green well into the cold season in mild locations, which is where the name comes from. The firm, medium sized berries ripen abundantly and evenly from August onwards, and being self fertile the plant needs no second bush.

Strongly blackberry flavoured with lively acidity and a firm bite. Fresh from the bush it is a little sharper than sweet dessert varieties, but cooked into jam or juice it is expressive and richly coloured.
