The Navaho Blackberry is a thorn-less variety that is upright, meaning it does not need a trellis to grow on. The Navaho Blackberry Plant produces huge tasty berries in large clusters, and a handful of these delicious thorn-less blackberries will thrill your family and neighbor. If you eat a bowlful of Navaho blackberries, you will appreciate the sweet flavor of this blackberry.

Quality is equal to Cheyenne and Shawnee. One of the best overall variety. Withstands temperatures down to -9 degrees. Highly recommended for the home orchard.

Navaho is an erect, self-fruitful, thornless shrub with clusters of pinkish-white, rose-like flowers which give way to a heavy crop of large, blue-black, juicy-sweet blackberries over a harvest season lasting 30 days in mid-late summer. The berries are firm and excellent for fresh eating, jams, jellies, and pies. Free-standing, this plant does not require support.

Grows up to 4-5 ft. tall and wide (120-150 cm).

A full sun to part shade lover, this plant is best grown in organically rich, slightly acidic, moist but well-drained soils. Blackberries dislike waterlogged soils. For best results, plant in a sheltered, sunny position. Will tolerate light shade, but the plant yields better and is more healthy when sited in full sun.

Training blackberry plants to some support makes picking easier and keeps the plants tidy and healthy. For production purposes, upright blackberry shrubs are usually planted 3 ft. apart (90 cm) and trailing shrubs 10 ft. apart (300 cm).

Prune erect blackberries twice each year. In summer, pinch out the tips of new canes as they reach 3 ft. (90cm) to promote the growth of side branches, on which fruit is borne the following season. Prune again in late winter, first removing, at ground level, all canes that fruited the previous season. Remove any young canes that are crowded, spindly, or diseased. Shorten the fruiting laterals to a length of 12-18 in. (30-45 cm).

To prune trailing blackberries, first cut away any canes that have fruited. Do this after harvest or when the plants are dormant. In late winter, thin out new canes to the most vigorous 8-10 per plant. Shorten long canes to 7 ft. (210 cm) and laterals to 12-18 in. (30-45 cm).
