Silver Creek Nursery Ltd.

Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry Bareroot

Species: Rubus fruticosis

History: Triple Crown was bred in Beltsville, Maryland by the USDA in order to create a good thornless variety for commercial sale. It was released in 1998 and was named Triple Crown due to its three crowning qualities: good flavour, high yields, and vigour. 

Why We Grow It: Triple Crown produces large, glossy berries that are sweet and tart. It bears fruit uniformly and the canes are thornless, making the berries very easy to pick. They are good for fresh eating and great for baking.
