Triple Crown Blackberry Bush Care
Triple Crown Blackberry Bush canes can be planted from late fall through early spring. Choose a location with full sun or partial shade. Space plants 5-6 feet apart and provide an adequate trellis support at the time of planting to help the stems support the heavy fruit load from July to August. Plants prefer loamy, well-drained soil with a pH of 6-6.8 Triple Crown Blackberry Bush plants are self-pollinating and require 300-450 chill hours below 45 degrees Fahrenheit to set fruit. Prune or top new canes when they reach 5-6 feet high and keep side shoots at 3-4 feet wide. Remove old fruiting canes after harvest. Triple Crown Blackberry Bush is disease resistant and heat tolerant.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
