Blackberry - Darrow
The Darrow Blackberry, Rubus 'Darrow', has large, berries that are firm, juicy and have honey sweet, true blackberry flavor. They are great for all purposes, and proven to be the most reliable producer of large crops of top quality fruit. Hardy and rust resistant, it produces well at an early age and ripens in July. Darrow near-black berries are unbelievably big, many measuring a full inch across! These are tempting, with a near-wild taste and a rich, fruity aroma. They grow 4-5 ft. tall, producing a larger crop than most blackberries. This blackberry is cold-hardy, super-vigorous and self-pollinating. To maintain plants, be sure to water in dry weather and use mulch to conserve soil moisture and control weeds. Pruning on a regular schedule is also beneficial to the growth and health of the plant. Blackberries are a delicious gourmet treat that may be eaten fresh or used in cobbler, cake, sauce, jam, jelly or syrup. ... find out more
