Blackberry (Natchez)

Natchez Thornless Blackberry is a popular early-season variety known for its very large berries, high yields, and excellent overall performance. This floricane variety is one of the earliest ripening blackberries, making it a great choice for gardeners who want to start harvesting early in the season.

The berries are exceptionally large, elongated, and glossy black with a mild, sweet flavor and good balance. Their size and attractive appearance make them ideal for fresh eating, while their flavor and texture also work well for baking, freezing, and preserves.

Natchez is a vigorous grower with thornless, semi-erect canes that benefit from light support or trellising to maximize production and ease of harvest.
