Wild Treasure Thornless Trailing Blackberry
Rubus ursinus 'Wild Treasure'
The wild meets the thornless! An incredible find for the backyard gardener -formerly known as ORUS 1843-3. Oregon State University researchers have crossed the uniquely delicious flavor of the wild Cascade Trailing Blackberry with the thornless 'Waldo' variety to make a self-fertile selection perfect for your garden. Wild Treasure vines are very productive and the fruits are so sweet and intensely delicious they amaze judges and win every tasting panel.
They average two grams in weight, about 1/3 the size of a Marionberry but more than twice the size of their wild cousins. Trellising will keep the trailing, thin canes off the ground and make them easier to harvest from.
