| Botanical Name | Rubus hybrid 'Columbia Star' |
| Description | Columbia Star is a standout thornless variety known for its "boutique" fruit quality and exceptional flavor profile. Unlike erect varieties, this is a trailing blackberry that performs beautifully in the Houston metro area when given a trellis or fence for support. It is adaptable to our heavy clay soils if drainage is provided and is highly valued for its high yields and easy, pain-free harvesting. Requires approximately 300-500 chill hours. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 4-6' H x 4-6' W (Trailing) |
| Water | Moderate; requires consistent moisture during the fruiting season to ensure plump, juicy berries through the Texas heat. |
| Zones | 6 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced organic fertilizer in early spring and again mid-summer to support vigorous vine growth. |
| Pruning | Remove old floricanes (fruit-bearing canes) after harvest; train new primocanes onto your support system. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate; the lack of thorns makes the foliage more attractive to deer than wild varieties. |
