5 Live Plant Columbia Star Blackberry Thornless Rubus Starter Plug

Columbia Star Blackberry is a thornless blackberry selection known for its trailing growth habit and large, firm fruit. This starter plug arrives ready to establish, making it a practical choice for home gardeners who want a reliable fruiting cane without the nuisance of thorns.

The plants are well suited to home orchards, edible landscapes, and trellis plantings where the trailing canes can be supported. Fruit is produced on second-year canes, so expect a light crop the first season after planting and fuller harvests in subsequent years. Berries hold well on the cane and are good for fresh eating, freezing, and baking.
