Triple Crown Blackberry is a thornless, floricane fruiting, semi-erect blackberry suited for the fresh market.  It has medium to large fruit, ranging from 6-8 grams/berry.  Its flavor is much better than that of Chester, but yields are not as high and it does not store or ship as well as Chester.  Harvest begins mid-June in Watsonville, California.
