Blackberry Ebony King

Blackberry Ebony King, Rubus 'Ebony King', is large and has delicious purple berries that are perfect for baking. Excellent berry for pies, cobblers, turnovers, topping ice cream, and added to cereal. Ebony King's upright thornless canes bear fruit in summer before hot days set in. Picking is easy and fun! Blackberries fruit on two-year old canes. After they have finished fruiting, the canes should be pruned away at the base. Plants flower around the start of summer and fruit ripens about mid-July.
