The Von Blackberry, developed by North Carolina State University, is a top-performing thornless blackberry variety prized for its large, firm, glossy black berries and outstanding sweet, well-balanced flavor. Vigorous, erect-growing, and highly productive, Von is an excellent choice for fresh eating, baking, jams, preserves, cobblers, and farm-to-table picks. Its berries hold beautifully on the cane, making harvest easy, safe, and efficient—ideal for families, homesteads, and commercial growers.
With a chill requirement of 300–500 chill hours, Von adapts well across a wide range of climates and thrives in USDA Zones 6–9. This variety is known for its excellent yields, reliable production, and disease-resistant performance, offering growers a low-maintenance, high-value bramble that delivers season after season. Its sturdy, upright canes make it easy to manage and trellis, while its thornless growth ensures a painless picking experience.
For gardeners seeking a premium blackberry variety that combines ease of care, abundant harvests, and superior flavor, the Von Blackberry stands as one of the best modern blackberry cultivars you can plant.
