Hardy in USDA Zones 6-10, but will go dormant every winter.

Plant in Full Sun for best results. Blackberries need a lot of sun to produce fruit. Too little sun exposure leads to decreased berry production.

Water 2-3 times per week for the first growing season. During the next growing season, water 1-2 times per week.

The Navaho Thornless Blackberry tolerates most types of soil, including those with high clay content.

Fertilize in early spring with a balanced organic fertilizer, or a specific blackberry fertilizer.
