Navaho Thornless Blackberry

The Navaho thornless blackberry is a popular variety of blackberry known for its sweet, flavorful fruit and smooth, thorn-free canes, making it ideal for home gardeners and commercial growers alike. This upright, self-supporting shrub typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall and requires minimal support. It produces firm, medium to large berries that ripen in mid to late summer and are excellent for fresh eating, jams, and baking. The Navaho variety is notable for its extended harvest period and excellent disease resistance, particularly to common blackberry ailments like cane blight and rust. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and its thornless nature makes harvesting easy and pleasant.
