The Columbia Giant Blackberry is the biggest blackberry anyone has ever seen, with fruits that are two inches long, needing two bites to eat. Yet they are top-quality, with an excellent texture and aromatic flavor, and a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Adults and children will love them, and they are delicious fresh, in berry mixtures, muffins, pies and preserves. This trailing plant is easily grown on a fence, trellis, or just on two wires stretched between poles.
- Biggest blackberry in the world
- Top-quality, delicious flavor and texture
- Ripens in July
- Easily grown in a fence or simple wire support
- Self-pollinating, with yields up to 15 pounds per plant
Full sun and rich but well-drained soil suits the Columbia Giant Blackberry. Water regularly in the weeks leading up to harvest, but after that mature plants have good drought resistance. Generally free of serious pests or diseases, blackberries are among the easiest berry fruits to grow, and this one is no exception. Created by the USDA and Oregon State University.
