1 Live Plant Plug Darrow Thorned Blackberry Rubus fruticosus

Darrow Thorned Blackberry is a vigorous fruiting shrub prized by home gardeners for its generous crops of large, sweet-tart berries and its sturdy, upright growth habit. This starter plug arrives with an established root system, ready to settle into the garden and begin developing into a productive, long-lived fruiting plant.

The berries are excellent for fresh eating, baking, jams, jellies, and freezing, ripening in mid to late summer. The canes are thorned and benefit from a trellis or support for easier management and harvest. Darrow is a self-pollinating variety, so a single plant will produce fruit. Grow it in a sunny border, along a fence, or in a dedicated fruit patch for a dependable seasonal harvest.
