As well as producing a crop of delicious blackberries in late summer and early autumn, this popular variety has thorn-free stems, which makes it ideal for smaller gardens, trellises or even archways. The foliage is ornamental, and the white, early summer flowers are also decorative, but the berries are the stars! Medium in size, they have a juicy flesh and a mild flavour, which makes them perfect for eating fresh or for making pies and jams.
Garden care: Prepare the ground well before planting. Remove all weeds and dig in plenty of well-rotted manure. Allow 3m between each plant and 1.8m between rows. Once planted, shorten the canes to about 23cm (9in). Each spring, mulch well with well-rotted manure. Plants flower on one-year-old wood, so the new canes need to be separated from fruiting ones. After cropping, cut the fruiting canes down to the ground and tie in the new ones that have grown that year.
