Blackberry Karaka

This prolific and early-fruiting blackberry is a game-changer for backyard growers. Karaka Black produces an abundance of long, glossy black fruit with an unbeatable balance of sweetness and tang. Bred in New Zealand, it boasts superior flavour, excellent disease resistance, and a long harvest periodstretching from early summer right through to late February.

With its semi-erect, thorny canes, Karaka Black is easy to train along a fence or trellis, making it perfect for small spaces. The berries are not only larger than standard blackberries but also firm, making them ideal for fresh eating, jams, or freezing for a taste of summer all year round.

Best of all, it thrives in Australian conditions, delivering up to 3kg of fruit per plant in just a few seasons. Plant in full sun, provide some support, and enjoy baskets of delicious, antioxidant-rich fruit straight from your garden.
