Rubus fruticosus ‘Perron Noir’, known as ‘Perron Noir’ blackberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub with a semi-erect, vigorous habit, prized for its high productivity and superior fruit quality. Adapted to northern climates, it offers an abundant harvest of well-formed blackberries in summer. Its white, melliferous spring blossoms attract pollinators and promote excellent fruit set. Its dense green foliage supports sturdy stems that benefit from trellising to facilitate harvesting. Rubus fruticosus ‘Perron Noir’ prefers full sun exposure and rich, deep, well-drained soil to optimize size and flavor. Ideal for fresh consumption, processing, and freezing, it is an excellent choice for diversifying a fruiting hedge.
