Pleasant Delectable Surprise First Summer
We ordered these last year in March, they arrived early May. Our original plan was to plant in the ground, but due to unexpected mobility limitations that prevented shoveling right before they arrived, we ended up planting in cedar boxes. (Treated inside w/linseed oil) and then stained outside of boxes to match our sunny-side deck). My spouse told me not to expect any berries the first year. However, we did get about 20 berries over the course of the summer---they are absolutely fabulous tasting!!! So sweet and delectable!! Over the course of the summer the vines grew and we were able to train them, using four 5 foot trellises spaced between the cedar boxes and then strung 2 rows of wire between them. The leaves and vines really filled in during the summer, and periodically overtime we'd get a 2-3 berries popping out as a wonderful surprise. I'm looking forward to see how they weathered the cold Iowa winter, but we're now showing signs of spring, so time will tell. . . . . . looking forward to more tasty berries, hopefully in greater number this year.
They are already sprouting new leaves
Fast growing trees is true than their word. They mailed me another blackberry bush because one of mine was damaged in the shipping. I got the replacement right away a good place to order from.
Rock star of blackberry bushes
Planted with my other blackberry bushes to add to the cobbler makers. It has taken off, even in this heatwave. Looks great, growing fast and will be a great addition to the patch. Definitely recommend buying these to anyone!

Thornless blackberries - excellent!
I received four healthy, thornless, blackberry bushes recently, all packed very securely in one box. Have since repotted them and they are thriving!
