Von is a thornless erect blackberry from the NC State breeding program, selected from open-pollinated Navaho-cross seedlings. Medium to large berries with sweet, complex flavor on self-supporting upright canes — no trellis required. Regional trials in the Mid-Atlantic confirm strong performance across a range of growing conditions. Our tissue-cultured plants provide the strong foundation that growers expect — superior vigor and true-to-type genetics built in from day one.
