Product description

Blackberry 'Nigrum' is a vigorous, fast-growing deciduous shrub celebrated for producing incredibly heavy yields of large, deliciously sweet dark fruits. From mid-summer through to early autumn, this robust scrambling bush is heavily laden with glossy berries that are absolutely perfect for eating fresh, baking into pies, or making homemade jams. In addition to its culinary value, the beautiful white and pale pink spring flowers provide an excellent nectar source for bees, butterflies, and beneficial garden pollinators.

When establishing this hardy fruit bush, choose a location that offers full sun or partial shade in rich, fertile soil that remains moist but well-drained. It easily withstands freezing winter temperatures and requires very little ongoing maintenance once the extensive root system has successfully anchored itself into the ground. To keep the scrambling canes tidy and highly productive year after year, provide a sturdy support structure and apply a generous mulch of organic compost each spring.
