This variety of Thornless blackberries grows on summer-bearing floricanes, ripening in early June, which is earlier than most other thornless varieties.

How to Grow Natchez Thornless Blackberries

This is a self-pollinating plant that has spreading potential. New canes come up from the roots to increase productivity. It is necessary to prune blackberries annually for the best crop. At any time of the year, you can prune crossed or dead branches to encourage new growth. In late winter, prune back last year’s fruiting canes.

Natchez Blackberry thrives in a variety of conditions. For best results, plant in full sun and well-draining soil. The Natchez thornless variety is drought tolerant and loves the hot heat of the South but is very tolerant to colder weather too!
