| Botanical Name | Rubus 'Navaho' |
| Description | The first erect, thornless blackberry ever developed, the Navaho remains a top choice for the Houston metro area. It is celebrated for its superior fruit sugar content and firm texture. This variety handles heavy clay soil well and is highly resistant to Rosetta (Double Blossom) disease, a common issue in our humid climate. It requires approximately 800 chill hours for a reliable crop. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 4-5' H x 3-4' W |
| Water | Moderate; needs consistent deep watering during the hot Texas summer, especially while berries are ripening. |
| Zones | 6 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Use a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears and again after the harvest is complete. |
| Pruning | Tipping new canes in summer encourages lateral branching; remove old canes that have finished fruiting at ground level. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate; though thornless, the sweet fruit may attract wildlife if not protected. |
