Characteristics of the fruit

The ‘Triple Crown’ blackberries are long, shiny and deep black. Their juicy, slightly acidic flesh offers a well-balanced flavor that is ideal for all kinds of culinary preparations. Each plant can produce up to 20 kg of fruit, making it one of the most productive varieties.

Growing conditions

The Mulberry ‘Triple Crown’ is a vigorous and hardy plant, which can reach up to 3 to 4 metres in height. It adapts to all types of soil, well drained, and prefers full sun exposure to maximize production. This strain requires training to support its long stems and optimize harvest.

Planting and maintenance

Plant the Mulberry ‘Triple Crown’ in autumn or spring. To ensure a good harvest, severe pruning is recommended in winter, cutting the branches at ground level. This pruning stimulates the production of new fruiting stems for the following season. The mulberry tree is self-fertile, which simplifies its cultivation.

Culinary Use

‘Triple Crown’ blackberries have a fairly short shelf life, so it is advisable to consume them quickly after harvest or freeze them to extend their use.

Pollination

This variety is self-fertile, which means that it does not require other plants to produce fruit. However, good training and optimal sun exposure will ensure a larger harvest.
