Von Blackberry Plant
Introducing the Von Blackberry Plant, a standout in the world of berry plants. This unique variety, the first of its kind, is a thornless, floricane-fruiting blackberry plant that stands erect with pride. Named in honor of Harvey Von Underwood, a notable researcher at NC State University, the Von Blackberry Plant is a testament to his dedication to preserving valuable germplasm.
This plant is a moderate grower, reaching heights of 4-10 feet, and thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5-9. It’s a self-fertile variety, making it an easy addition to any garden. The Von Blackberry Plant is known for its high yields, producing an impressive 21,434 lbs/acre of marketable fruit.
The fruit of the Von Blackberry Plant is a delight to the senses. Medium in size with smaller drupelet and seed size compared to other cultivars, it’s characterized by its sweet, low acid flavor. The soluble sugars content is 9.4% and the pH is 3.57, making it a sweet treat with a hint of tanginess.
The Von Blackberry Plant is a late-season producer, with the harvest season typically commencing in the third week of June, peaking in the second week of July, and ending in the first week of August. Despite its late-season ripening, it’s able to produce with as little as 100 chill hours, with optimum production at 500 chill hours.
Not only is the Von Blackberry Plant a high yielder, but it also boasts good post-harvest qualities, scoring a marketable post-harvest score of 90.6. This score is as good or better than leading commercial cultivars, making it a valuable addition to any commercial or home garden.
The Von Blackberry Plant is a fast-growing, easy-to-grow variety that blooms in the spring. It’s a thornless variety, making it a safe choice for gardens with children or pets. Plus, it’s a floricane variety, meaning it bears fruit on second-year wood.
Experience the joy of growing your own Von Blackberry Plant. Its sweet, rich fruits are sure to be a hit with family and friends, and its graceful presence will add beauty to your garden year-round.
