- Description
Taste of Heaven blackberry (Rubus 'Ponca') is the sweetest, most flavorful blackberry on the market - and now you can grow it at home. We know, that's a tall claim, but you don't need to take our word for it: this article in the journal HortScience confirms it. And we know because we tasted literally hundreds of different blackberry varieties before deciding this would be the one to make it on to further testing. Taste of Heaven is a vigorous, thornless blackberry that produces large, luscious fruits over several weeks in summer. It's a floricane variety, fruiting only on second-year canes, and does not strictly require trellising or support, though in the garden, it is easier to care for and harvest with something in place.
