‘Opal’ Dwarf Blackberry Plant
- Want your very own blackberry bush but worried you don’t have the space? ‘Opal’ has you covered!
- With an upright habit and growing to only a metre or so in height, this blackberry variety is a great option for those gardeners limited on space. Just because you only have a small courtyard garden in the heart of the city shouldn’t mean you can’t get your very own taste of the country hedgerow
- Producing a glut of juicy blackberries at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the berries boast sumptuous sweetness with a welcome touch of tang
- Unlike many blackberry plants, this variety’s berries are borne on thornless stems, which makes harvesting them child’s play!
- Plant in a large pot and grow as a free-standing bush, or alternatively, plant in the ground and train the canes against a horizontal wire trellis
- With swollen, juicy fruit and delicate white flowers appearing at the start of summer, it’s no wonder that the blackberry is recognised by the RHS as one of its Plants for Pollinators, making this variety (or any other blackberry variety for that matter) an excellent choice for wildlife gardens
