A compact, upright to gently arching, blackberry with thornless stems that are laden with large and firm, edible black fruits, which have a deliciously sweet and aromatic flavour. Ready to harvest from mid-July, you can eat them straight from the bush - but they will also make a delicious compote. Try mixing this with double cream, lemon juice and greek yoghurt to make blackberry fool, or combine the fruits with other seasonal berries to make a summer pudding. Yummy! - Garden care: Prepare the ground well before planting. Remove all weeds and dig in plenty of well-rotted manure and then plant at 2m intervals. Each spring, mulch well with well-rotted manure. Plants flower on one-year-old wood, so the new canes need to be separated from fruiting ones. After cropping, cut the fruiting canes down to the ground and tie in the new ones that have grown that year.
