10 Plant Plugs Navaho Thornless Blackberry Rubus Live Starter Plants

Navaho thornless blackberry is a popular erect-growing blackberry selection valued for its smooth, thornless canes and reliable fruit production. It produces firm, sweet berries that ripen in summer and works well for home gardens, edible landscapes, and small fruit plantings. Plants arrive as starter plugs, ready to be established in the garden or a larger container.
Navaho blackberries are enjoyed fresh, baked into desserts, cooked into jams and preserves, or frozen for later use. The thornless canes make harvesting and routine care more comfortable than with standard blackberry types, and the plants perform best with full sun and consistent moisture. Space them where their upright habit and seasonal fruit can be appreciated.
