Rubus 'Navaho'
The Rubus 'Navaho' blackberry is a deciduous shrub with vigorous canes and large edible berries. The flowers are white to light pink, and they attract bees and other beneficial insects to the garden. A hardy plant, it does well in full sun either with or without support. The berries ripen from crimson to deep purple, and stay sweet and juicy. This plant has good disease and pest-resistance, meaning you can enjoy bushels of these sweet treats without the hassle of constant spraying or chemicals. Perfect for pies, jams, and sauces, the Navaho blackberry is highly productive and makes a great addition to any garden.
