Rubus fruticosus 'Thornfree' is a cultivated variety of the classic blackberry, prized for its delicious fruit. This makes it an excellent choice for gardens where ease of maintenance and family-friendly features are key. It's often simply referred to as the "Thornfree Blackberry", and it's as practical as it is productive.

In late spring to early summer, the plant produces clusters of soft white to pale pink flowers 🌸, which are not only charming but also highly attractive to pollinators like bees 🐝. These blooms are soon followed by plump, glossy blackberries that ripen from mid to late summer, providing a tasty reward for a little patience.

The foliage is a fresh, medium green and forms an attractive background throughout the growing season 🍃. Being a vigorous climber or trailing shrub, it can grow up to 2–3 meters in height or spread, depending on how it's supported 📏—a trellis or wire fence works wonderfully.

This plant appreciates a sunny position 🌞 and benefits from regular watering, especially during fruiting or dry spells 💧. It prefers well-draining, fertile soil and will reward you with bigger harvests if fed occasionally. As the name implies, 'Thornfree' is entirely free of spines, making harvesting much more pleasant and safe for children and gardeners alike 👨🌾👧.

While the flowers have only a light fragrance 🌸❌, the fruit offers a rich, sweet scent and flavour.

⚠️ Note: The plant itself is not toxic, but unripe berries can cause stomach discomfort if consumed. Always harvest the fruit when it's fully ripe for the best taste and safety 🍓✔️.

🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 70 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 14 cm.
