Tornfri
USA
-
late August
Thornfree was developed in 1966 in Maryland, USA, by breeders D.H. Scott and D.P. Mast. Its parents are US 1410 (Brainerd x Merton Thornless) x US 1414 (Merton Thornless x Eldorado). It has been in commercial production since 1966 and is considered one of the finest blackberry varieties. Thornfree is very popular and widely cultivated. In addition to fresh consumption, its berries are ideal for processing into jams, preserves, wines, and liqueurs.
The fruit has a pleasant, mild, and refreshing flavor, sweet-tart and aromatic, with a high dry matter content.
The berries are medium-large (5–7 grams per berry, up to 4 cm long), round to slightly conical, shiny black. Fully ripe berries display deep black and burgundy tones and detach easily from the stem. The fruits are rich in antioxidants.
Self-pollinating.
Extremely hardy and low-maintenance. Resistant to diseases and insects. Well-developed root system allows the bushes to withstand long periods without watering.
You can purchase seedlings of Blackberry Thornfree at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
