A trio of rare and unusual blackberriesThe cultivated blackberries in our Rubus fruticosus Berry Delicious Collection trump their wild relatives in numerous ways, whilst retaining their tough and resilient qualities. Fruit is larger and borne in greater quantities, stems are less thorny (in fact two of the three are completely thornless), and plants are overall more manageable in size and vigour. Indeed, two of these three cultivars are compact enough in size to be grown in containers. No more scratched hands or snagged sleeves sustained from beating through a mass of brambles.Our collection comprises of: - 'Loch Ness'; thornless, bearing huge fruits from August until the first frosts. (2m x 2m)- 'Polarberry'; unusual, white fruits throughout July and August. (1.2m x 60cm)- 'Dwarf Purple Oval'; thornless, miniature blackberry, bearing fruit from July to September. (90cm x 90cm)Prefer well-drained soil in full sun. Hardy, deciduous perennial.
