Blackberry 'Big Daddy' (PP33,701) (Potted)

Blackberry ‘Big Daddy’ – Big Berries, Big Flavor, No Thorns

Blackberry ‘Big Daddy’ lives up to its name with large, juicy blackberries on thornless canes that make harvesting much more pleasant. This productive blackberry is a great choice for home gardens, edible landscapes, berry patches, and even large containers with support.

Plants have a naturally upright to semi-upright habit and are easier to manage than sprawling blackberry types. With full sun, well-drained soil, and regular pruning, ‘Big Daddy’ can produce generous summer crops of sweet, dark berries perfect for fresh eating, baking, jams, cobblers, and preserves. It is self-fertile, so only one plant is needed for fruit, though additional plants can increase your harvest.
