Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip
Plant Triple Crown Blackberry in full sun and well-drained soil for the best yield and flavor. Water regularly, especially during fruit development, and mulch to help keep roots cool and moist. After the harvest, prune out the old canes that have fruited to make room for new ones that will produce next season. Train the canes on a simple trellis or along wires for tidy growth and easy picking. Because it ripens later than many varieties, Triple Crown pairs beautifully with earlier blackberries or raspberries to create an extended berry season.

How To Plant Triple Crown Thornless Blackberry
Triple Crown enjoys the benefits of full sun and can thrive in part shade as well. Blackberries enjoy being planted in soil that is acidic, rich in organic matter, moist, and well-draining. Be sure not to plant blackberries in wet, soggy soil; these berries do not enjoy having wet feet. If the landscape has clay soil, planting raspberries in raised beds would be a great option to enjoy growing your fruit. Blackberries are self-fertile, so you do not need to plant another blackberry bush.
How To Water
Keep the top inch of soil moist for the first 2-3 weeks after planting your Triple Crow. For the first three weeks, water them during the day. Giving them about 1-2" per week in the growing season. In the harvesting season, you should be watering them about 4" per week.
How To Prune
After fruiting, prune all canes that produced fruit. Thoroughly prune late winter to early spring to remove any damage occurring during dormancy.
