Triple Crown Blackberry
Triple Crown Blackberry is a popular thornless variety celebrated for its abundant yields of large, sweet, and juicy berries. A summer standout in the home garden, it’s known for its vigorous, semi-erect canes that make harvesting easy and enjoyable. Here’s why Triple Crown is a favorite among blackberry enthusiasts:
Thornless Canes: Say goodbye to scratches! Its smooth canes allow for hassle-free picking.
Abundant Yields: Expect plenty of plump, glossy fruits throughout the season. Perfect for fresh snacking, jams, pies, or freezing.
Delicious Flavor: Prized for its sweet taste and juicy texture, this variety is a treat fresh off the vine.
Vigorous & Self-Fertile: Triple Crown reliably sets fruit without the need for multiple plants, making it easy to grow in small spaces.
Low Maintenance: With a bit of sunlight, regular watering, and well-drained soil, you’ll enjoy a generous harvest in mid- to late-summer.

How we ship
Most orders go out via UPS with a 2-3 day transit time to most of the continental U.S. Plants are shipped dormant in late winter / early spring, packed wet to protect the root systems, and bundled by variety so they're ready to plant on arrival.
Hawaii & Alaska orders
For HI and AK addresses we ship via USPS. The other major carriers either don't service these areas for live plants or charge prohibitive rates that would more than double the cost of your order. USPS gives us a reliable, affordable path to get plants to you in good condition.
Want UPS or FedEx anyway?
If you're in HI or AK and want to use UPS or FedEx and cover the upgraded shipping cost, reach out to us immediately after placing your order with your order number. We'll send you the available options and a quote, and you can pick what works for you.
