    The Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry (Rubus fruticosus ‘Triple Crown’) is a highly productive and easy-to-grow variety known for its large, glossy blackberries, thornless canes, and excellent flavor—a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Ripening in midsummer, this semi-erect variety produces heavy crops on vigorous, arching canes without the hassle of thorns. Ideal for fresh eating, baking, or preserves, Triple Crown thrives in home gardens and small orchards alike.


    ***We recommend that you wait 7 to 10 days from the date of receipt before repotting your plants, to allow them to recover from the shock of shipping***


    Exercise caution and use your best judgment before ordering during unusually hot or cold weather (below 32 degrees F, or in excess of 95F for shipping purposes), as these extremes may leave your plant vulnerable to damage. The optimal time for planting for most of our material is in mid to late spring, past the danger of hard frost. Please refer to our preferred shipping and planting guide for your area below.


    Sometimes these plants are small, like the pictures. Sometimes they will be larger, depending on crop rotation. No plants are shipped from our farm until fully rooted.
