First year blackberries!

So happy with the blackberry, it arrived quite large, healthy with several canes. It survived our hideous Denver late hard freeze and a late snow! It budded and I have blackberries in June!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Yvonne, surviving Denver's brutal late freeze and snow and still delivering blackberries in June is just remarkable! Thornless blackberries are such hardy and rewarding plants and yours has really proven itself in the most impressive way. First year fruit is such a treat and we're so excited for the seasons ahead!
