Description
The Reuben Blackberry is a true novelty, the first everbearing variety promising abundant and regular harvests from mid-July to November, starting from the first year. It produces large, flavoursome fruits that are both sweet and tangy. It is a climbing and woody plant with a few thorns, and can be trained like raspberry plants. It thrives in any ordinary soil that is not too dry, in full sun or partial shade.
The Reuben Blackberry belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is a recent French creation, attributed to the breeder of the famous Mara des Bois strawberry. It is a perennial, climbing plant with branches that can reach 2 to 3 metres (7 to 10 feet) in length, and a stump that can occupy 0.5 metres (2 feet) of space on the ground. The foliage is deciduous, bright green, and composed of compound, toothed leaves with visible veins, very similar to raspberry leaves. The stems are slightly thorny, and they only live for fruiting (2 years), being replaced by new shoots emerging from the stump. The flowering, abundant and honey-producing, showcases numerous small white flowers measuring 1.5 cm (1in) in diameter, grouped in clusters. It occurs from May to August-September, starting from the first year of planting. The fruits that form are composed of aggregated drupes attached to the receptacle. They are large in size, much larger than those of wild blackberries, turning from red to black when fully ripe, from mid-July to November. They should be picked when fully black, as they are then sweet, tangy, juicy, and full of flavour. The fruits can be consumed fresh upon picking, frozen, used in tarts, or made into jam.
The Reuben Blackberry is a plant that forms long, flexible stems that are best trained (on a trellis, fence, or lattice). Hardy and easy to grow, it thrives in ordinary soil, preferably fertile, well-drained, and moist. It thrives when sheltered by a sunny or partially shaded wall, showcasing the bare wood of the flexible stems during the winter. Garden blackberries are hybrids derived from the Thornless Blackberry, Rubus var. inermis, which itself was obtained through the cross-breeding of blackberries and raspberries. Extensive improvement and selection work has led to the development of numerous thornless varieties that are particularly productive, most of which have American origins.

Planting and care
The Reuben Garden Blackberry prefers deep, fertile soils that are not too dry to moist, but it is a low-maintenance plant that will adapt to any ordinary soil that is not too dry. This blackberry bears fruit in the sun, partial shade, or even shade, but the fruits will be of lower quality. When grown in a pot, it can be planted all year round. However, it is preferable to plant it in the garden in autumn, from September to November. Dig a hole much larger than the root ball. Scratch the root ball with a barely sharp tool to loosen the roots and promote growth. Place the bush in the hole without burying it too deep. Water well to compact the soil and remove air around the roots. It is important to ensure that the plant does not lack water in the first year after planting. Similarly, in the first year, only keep the vigorous stems. Adding organic fertiliser is beneficial at the beginning of the growing season. Train the new stems as they grow.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
