Hardy Blackberry 'Hardy Black'
FamilyRosaceae
Rubus fruticosus ‘Hardy Black’, known as ‘Hardy Black’ blackberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub with a semi-erect and very vigorous habit, selected for its superior hardiness and reliability in cold climates. It produces a generous harvest of well-formed black blackberries in summer, supported by sturdy canes that benefit from trellising for better aeration and easier picking. Its white spring blossoms effectively attract pollinators and ensure good fruit set. Its dense green foliage provides a beautiful presence in the vegetable garden or as a fruit hedge. Rubus fruticosus ‘Hardy Black’ prefers full sun and rich, deep, well-drained soil to optimize size and flavor. Ideal for fresh consumption and homemade processing, it is a reliable choice for diversifying the small fruit offering.
