This collection consists of 2 blackberry bushes, 1 each of the following:
Blackberry ' Black Butte'
This new variety of blackberry produces extremely large fruits up to 12g in weight & 5cm (2in) in length (twice the size of normal blackberries). Rich, sweet & full of flavour. The canes have excellent winter hardiness. Plant 1.8m (6ft) apart. Season: early July
- mid Aug.
Blackberry ' Reuben'
The world's first primocane blackberry (cropping on first year growth) also happens to produce the biggest, sweetest fruits we have ever seen! With a berry weight of up to 14g, the fruits are twice the size of most other varieties. Sweeter than strawberries & full of juice, the fruits taste fantastic picked fresh from the bush. Because of its primocane habit there is the potential to get two crops every year
- a summer crop on the old canes & a later crop on the current season's growth. The bush is compact with an upright habit & can be grown in a large container or in the open ground. It is easy to grow, very reliable & loses its spines as it matures. Plant 75cm (2ft 6in) apart. Season: June & Aug
- Oct.
