Professional Growing Information 
So I planted this last year in early Spring and this year this plant is putting on a show. It is covered with berries and has been blooming for probably two months, I am starting to eat berries and at the same time watching it continue to put on multiple new blooms. It is my opinion that the taste is borderline awesome. I despise tasteless, bland berries from the store. These are not that. They are tart, which reminds me a little of wild blackberries. If you don’t like tart then don’t buy it. I do. When I say the vines are covered, I truly mean covered with fruit. Only drawback is the height. They grow very tall. Obviously you can cut it back but it’s hard to do so and miss out on more fruit. Mine is seriously probably 9 foot long. I have planted hundreds of Proven Winner plants and some have honestly been big disappointments while some are wonderful. This one is wonderful…. Best blackberry plant I have ever seen.

We tasted hundreds of different blackberries so you wouldn’t have to! From amongst many, many trials, we selected Taste of Heaven thornless blackberry for its super large and super sweet berries. Unlike some options that are all seed and no juice, the ratio is perfect with these inch long fruits. You’ll get to enjoy harvesting for several weeks in the summertime and you won’t get cut once, as this variety is thornless. This variety produces fruit on second-year canes, so you don’t technically need to support it if you keep it well pruned. If you plan to plant a few of them, you’ll find it easier to harvest and trim them if they are trellised.
