🍇 Juicy blackberries from August to October • 🌸 Bee-friendly white flowers • 🌿 Semi-evergreen foliage • ☀️ Full sun • 🐾 Non-toxic • 📏 H45 cm | Pot Ø13 cm
The Rubus fruticosus 'Thornless Evergreen' is an organic thornless blackberry bush of European origin with decorative semi-evergreen foliage. It produces bee-friendly white flowers in May-June, followed by juicy, sweet blackberries rich in antioxidants from summer until the first frosts. Its unique feature: foliage that stays green for much of the winter, unlike other fully deciduous blackberry bushes.
Thornless, ideal for families — easy harvest without gloves, perfect for balconies and terraces frequented by children.
Light & location
The 'Thornless Evergreen' blackberry bush thrives in full sun for abundant, sweet fruiting. Its vigorous semi-climbing stems need a sturdy support to grow properly. The sunnier the exposure, the more numerous, plump, and sweet the fruits will be.
- Exposure: full sun — essential for a generous harvest.
- Support: trellis, wire mesh, or taut wires to guide the stems.
- In a pot: deep container at least 30 cm with good drainage.
- Foliage: semi-evergreen — stays green for much of the winter depending on the climate.
Guide the stems as they grow — blackberry stems quickly become long and hard to redirect once their growth habit is established.
Watering & care
The 'Thornless Evergreen' blackberry bush is robust and not very susceptible to disease — no treatment needed when grown organically. Water regularly during flowering and fruiting and add compost in spring. Stem cuttings root easily in autumn to propagate the plant.
- Watering: regular in summer — keep substrate moist but not waterlogged.
- Pruning: after harvest, remove stems that have fruited — keep new green shoots that will bear fruit next year.
- Fertilizer: compost or natural fertilizer in spring.
- Mulching: at the base to retain moisture and reduce watering.
Golden rule for blackberry bushes: this year’s stems fruit the following year — never remove new green shoots, only dry or browned stems that have already produced.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
The 'Thornless Evergreen' blackberry bush fits naturally into a terrace vegetable garden — its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and improve pollination of all nearby fruit plants, and its semi-evergreen foliage keeps the support green even in winter.
- For a continuous harvest of berries, the Organic raspberry 'Malling Promise' is the perfect companion — its red raspberries in June-July precede the Thornless Evergreen blackberries from August to October for uninterrupted summer to autumn production.
- For an organic berry trio, add the Organic blueberry 'Reka' — blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries cover the entire summer season for a very diverse and productive terrace vegetable garden.
- For a decorative, fruiting facade, pair it with the Organic red currant 'Jonkheer van Tets' — its translucent red clusters in June precede the dark autumn blackberries for a very decorative two-tone balcony garden.
- For a contrasting blackberry duo, the Organic blackberry 'Black Satin' complements the 'Thornless Evergreen' — two thornless varieties with slightly staggered harvest periods and different growth habits to spread blackberry production over several weeks.
Verdeia tips
- Install the support before planting: 'Thornless Evergreen' stems grow fast and become long and dense — a trellis or taut wires installed from the start prevent having to reorganize everything with an already developed plant.
- Prune only stems that have already fruited: after harvest in September-October, identify the woody browned stems that bore fruit and cut them at the base — new green shoots of the year must be kept, as they will produce next season’s blackberries.
- Repot every 2 years in spring: into a slightly larger container with rich, well-draining substrate — the blackberry develops a spreading root system that quickly depletes pot soil. Choose the right time to repot to avoid disturbing spring growth.
