Read detailed description :

Abundant large, shiny and firm blackberries appear from July to September, sweet and deliciously perfumed. Excellent in fruit salads, jams, jellies and cakes. Easy to grow and rustic, this variety will grow in any, preferably rich soil, even a bit chalky and will tolerate shade. The climbing branches can be trelissed on a prop or fence. Can also be planted as part of a hedge.
