Black Magic™ Blackberry Plant

Delicious Berries Times Two!

Get to know Black Magic Blackberries

  • Double cropping
  • Bears large summer crop and a fall crop
  • Black fruits are often larger than a quarter
  • Rich, complex, sweet-tart flavor
  • Excellent heat tolerance
  • Upright, self-supporting canes
Enjoy big, richly flavored berries not once, but multiple times a season! The Black Magic Blackberry is a double-cropping variety that will set a large summer crop and a later fall crop, and may even produce fruit throughout the entire summer depending on conditions! Upright, self supporting and lightly thorny canes are easy to maintain and have impressive heat tolerance. We have seen them breeze through 100+ degree days, still pumping out the fruit. Huge yields of fruit, delectable flavor and ease of care are sure to make Black Magic a favorite! Zones 5-9. PP24249.
