| Botanical Name | Rubus 'Navaho' |
| Description | The Navaho is a premier thornless, floricane-fruiting variety (fruiting on second-year wood) that 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. 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 on the floricanes. |
| Zones | 6 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Use a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears and again after the harvest is complete. |
| Pruning | Remove floricanes to the ground after they finish fruiting. Do not prune the new green primocanes, as these will provide next year's crop. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate; though thornless, the sweet fruit may attract wildlife if not protected. |
