The Navaho Thornless Blackberry is a brand new blackberry from the DownHome Harvest Edible Collection! This blackberry bush is self-fertile and produces plump berries that ripen in early summer. Furthermore, it's renowned for its delectably sweet fruit. In fact, these berries are the sweetest of the three blackberries in this collection, which also includes the Osage Thornless Blackberry and Prime-Ark Freedom Thornless Blackberry.

The Navaho Thornless Blackberry has attractive true green leaves grouped in threes. This foliage is deciduous and relatively fast-growing.

Keep in mind that this is a Floricane blackberry. This means that it fruits on growth from the past year. Therefore, be sure not to trim this variety in early spring. Instead, if you wish to trim your Navaho Thornless Blackberry, do so immediately after the harvest.

This variety has a naturally upright growth habit, so it makes picking fruit a breeze and rarely spreads. However, if a cane touches the ground for an extended period of time it can root.

The Navaho Thornless Blackberry reaches 4-5' H x 3-4' W so get those berry harvesting hands warmed up!

*The Navaho Thornless Blackberry is a deciduous/semi-evergreen plant and will go dormant during the winter months. When this plant is ordered during the Fall/Winter expect seasonal foliage decline(discoloration, spots, leaf drop) or the plant to arrive completely dormant.*

Navaho Thornless Blackberry Care

Hardy in USDA Zones 6-10, but will go dormant every winter.

Plant in Full Sun for best results. Blackberries need a lot of sun to produce fruit. Too little sun exposure leads to decreased berry production.

Water 2-3 times per week for the first growing season. During the next growing season, water 1-2 times per week.

The Navaho Thornless Blackberry tolerates most types of soil, including those with high clay content.

Fertilize in early spring with a balanced organic fertilizer, or a specific blackberry fertilizer.
