Blackberry Karaka Black Fruit Plant (Floricane) earns its place in the kitchen garden with exceptionally large, glossy black berries and a long picking season. The firm fruits have excellent flavour and are useful straight from the plant, frozen for later, baked into puddings or cooked into jams and preserves.

This New Zealand-bred floricane has thorny, arching canes that reach around 2m and are best trained along sturdy wires. Fruit is carried on the previous season's growth, so once picking has finished, remove the fruited canes at ground level and tie in the new canes that will produce next year's crop.

Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in full sun. Supplied as a well-established 2 litre potted plant, ready to settle into its permanent growing position.
