The ‘Columbia Star’ Blackberry is a beautiful medium-sized blackberry with amazing flavor and rich sweetness. The fruits have a beautiful dark skin, and are top-quality, with great aroma and the perfect sweet and tart balance. This compact bush is only 6 feet tall, and can be grown on any fence or a simple panel of trellis. Mature bushes can yield up to 18 pounds each, in good conditions, so you will have plenty for eating fresh, baking or preserving.
Plant the ‘Columbia Star’ Blackberry in full sun, and in rich but well-drained soil for the biggest crop. Water regularly until you have harvested – after that it is more drought resistant. Blackberries are among the easiest berry fruits to grow, and they are generally free of any serious pests or diseases. Prune after harvest by removing all the old canes and tying back the new ones for the next year.
