Navaho Blackberry produces both beautiful, rose-like flowers, and delicious berries. This thornless, self-fruitful, freestanding columnar shrub has clusters of pinkish white flowers that give way to blackberries mid-season lasting for 5-6 weeks. An erect shrub, it does not require support and a great addition to your fruit garden. Wonderful as a decorative hedge. It can be easily grown in a small space (3 feet square) or in a 10 gal container. This is the perfect blackberry for a small garden.
