About

Tasty Prolific Blackberry Bushes at Nature Hills! Sweet and juicy Blackberry Bushes ( Rubus ) are incredible double-duty edible landscaping shrubs that are oh-so-easy to grow! Blackberries are ornamental and fit nicely into any landscape! Spring brings gleaming white blossoms (which resemble their Rose-family relations) that pollinators adore and lush green spring and summer foliage. These attractive plants also display vibrant fall colors, complementing the sweet and juicy, shiny fruit that forms into tightly bunched, round, bubble-like fruits, which develop into thimble-like aggregate fruits. Some Blackberry plants are thorny, but Nature Hills offers thornless varieties too, like Chester, Arapaho, and Triple Crown! Other types have thorns but make incredible barrier plantings , hedgerows, and wildlife-friendly thickets! Blackberries are self-fertile, so they do not need another pollinator to produce fruit; however, you will achieve a far larger harvest with multiple plants planted close to each other. Since Blackberries are loved by all, you'll be happy you planted a few extras for birds and other wildlife, and still have some for yourself! The delicious black to deep blue and purple fruits contain a long list of desirable nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and dietary fiber!

Floricanes After winter, when new growth has begun, last year's canes that overwintered are now called Floricanes. These bloom on last year's growth and are harvested in summer, hence their other name - summer-bearing. Everbearing Everbearing cane shrubs have both Floricane and Primocanes on the same plant, allowing you
