About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

Wilsons Frühe is one of the oldest garden blackberries and is valued above all for its early ripening: you can pick the first fruit as soon as mid to late July, well ahead of most other varieties. It is thorned and grows moderately vigorously with upright canes that are easy to train. The berries are medium sized, firm and ripen over a fairly concentrated period. Being self fertile, it needs no second bush.

Distinctly tart with a clear blackberry aroma, and correspondingly fresh and lively so early in the season. A generous supplier for juice, jelly and jam.
