Blackberry 'Triple Crown'
Rubus fruticosus 'Triple Crown'
Triple Crown is a thornless variety that produces heavy yields of large, sweet-tart blackberries that ripen in late July/early August. It is a semi-erect variety and requires some support to grow.
Blackberries are self-fertile, and only one variety is needed to produce fruit.
Triple Crown is a floricane fruiting variety, which means it produces berries on 2-year-old canes. Once the cane has finished fruiting, it should be cut back to the ground to encourage the growth of new canes.
Blackberries grow best in full to part sun with slightly acidic, moist, fertile, well-drained soil.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through August, depending on suppliers availability.

Care
Full sun outdoors (6-8+ hours of direct sun)
Water every 2-4 days for the first year until established (based on outdoor temperature & plant's water consumption).
If it is planted in a pot, it should have a drainage hole to reduce the likelihood of root rot caused by water accumulating in the bottom of the pot.
Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
