Osage Thornless Blackberry – 6 Pack Of 1 Gallon Pots

‘Osage’ is a recent new release with enhanced and excellent flavor in a series of erect-growing, high-quality, productive floricane-fruiting thornless blackberry developed by the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. Osage is the first Arkansas release that exhibited excellent flavor consistently during adverse conditions during harvest such as rain and cloudiness. Highly recommended for the Mid Atlantic, Southern states and West Coast. ‘Osage’ ripens mid to early season and produces medium-sized berries with excellent post-harvest quality for the shipping market in addition to local market use. Its low maintenance makes it great choice for the home orchard and no thorns means no blood drawn. If you want to plant several varieties of Blackberry bushes in your yard or home orchard, Osage is one you want!

NOTE: All of our fruit plants are grown in containers outdoors so they are fully rooted and landscape-ready upon arrival.

Osage Thornless Blackberry will produce the best and most berries when growing in full sun. However, where space is limited, a blackberry plant will produce good crops even when grown in shade, which is something no other common fruit plants will do. Blackberries will grow reasonably well in most soil types except for very compacted clay or light chalky soil. In these soils it’ll be worth your time to mix in lots of organic compost to condition the soil and add beneficial nutrients and bacteria plants need to grow healthy. Blackberries grow and produce the best fruit in well-drained but moist fertile soil that is rich in organic matter. They like the soil to hold a good supply of water, especially when the fruits are developing in summer, but not so much water that the soil stays constantly soggy or wet.
