COLUMBIA STAR THORNLESS BLACKBERRY 1gal

This remarkable fruit-bearing plant is a gardener's dream, offering an abundance of large, exceptionally sweet, and flavorful berries in mid-summer. The best part? It's completely thornless, making harvesting a pleasurable experience without painful pricks! Its vigorous, trailing canes can reach up to 6 feet long, making it ideal for training along fences, trellises, or arbors, adding an attractive edible element to your landscape.

The Columbia Star Thornless Blackberry thrives in full sun, needing at least 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily to produce its best fruit. It prefers well-drained, fertile soil. While it appreciates consistent moisture, especially during fruit development, established plants are quite resilient. In our Arizona climate, selecting a spot that offers some afternoon shade might be beneficial during the hottest parts of summer to protect the fruit and foliage. While birds might be interested in the berries, deer generally tend to leave the canes alone once they've established themselves.

To ensure your Columbia Star Thornless Blackberry gets off to a fantastic start and continues to produce prolifically, amend your planting hole with plenty of Watters Premium Mulch. This rich, organic material will dramatically improve soil structure, help retain vital moisture, and slowly release nutrients as it decomposes, providing a superb foundation for healthy root growth. Feed your plant regularly with Watters 6-4-4-8 Fruit & Vegetable Plant Food for an abundant harvest of those mouth-watering berries. Apply it in early spring as new growth emerges, and then again monthly through the growing season until the fruit ripens. This provides the essential nutrients for robust cane development and maximum fruit production.
