Oregon Thornless
Blackberry Rubus Oregon Thornless
A popular, highly ornamental blackberry bearing attractive, white, cup-shaped blooms with large, golden-green centres. It produces heavy crops of mild and juicy fruit on thornless stems from late August to late September. Perfect for training over an arch, trellis or pergola, it has distinctly serrated, dark green, parsley-shaped leaves that take on stunning shades of red during the autumn. A decorative plant that’s useful for smaller gardens.

Once established, blackberries are very easy to care for.

Apply a generous mulch of organic matter around the base of the plant in spring to encourage a plentiful display of fruits and flowers. After harvesting, cut the fruiting canes down to ground level and tie in the new ones which have grown during the current year.
