We trial planted 5 of the best blackberry varieties (55 plants total) from Nourse about 13 years ago and had them in the ground for 9 seasons. We were primarily a strawberry farm so i quietly observed each variety year after year. Triple Crown tasted the best of them all. They were the most productive. They made it through winter when the others died back. And even when we had an early spring and the new leaves got frosted off, Triple Crown would push new growth instead of giving up.
We now have 600 Triple Crown plants trellised on the RCA system and we havent looked back. Super long, flexible canes. Easy to manage. FULL trellis. Its been great!
Customers love the flavor and for me as a grower, its the full package.
Triple Crown is a winner!
