What a beautiful pastoral scene it is to pick your own blackberries straight from the farm hedgerow - except for that fact that you might well tear your arm to shreds on all those pesky, prickly thorns... With 'Tiny Black', though? That's not a problem! Completely thornless canes bear an abundance of delicious, juicy blackberries from the middle to the end of summer (and even into September) The plant's bushy, serrated foliage is a lovely mid to dark green in spring and summer, before typically taking on more fiery hues in the autumn months With a naturally neat and compact habit, this blackberry variety is ideal for container growing in small gardens, on patios and even on balconies If you can resist eating the berries fresh from the stems - and if you can't, we don't blame you - then you can freeze the surplus to be used in crumbles, pies and jams throughout the year to come Rubus fruticosus (the blackberry's latin name) is certified as one of the Royal Horticultural Society's Plants for Pollinators; bees and butterflies are attracted to the plant's nectar, birds like thrushes love the berries and small mammals like dormice often seek shelter amidst the brambles Show more
