Marionberry

Often called the “Queen of Blackberries,” the Marionberry is prized for its outstanding flavor and exceptional fruit quality. This famous blackberry produces large, conical berries that ripen from deep red to glossy jet black. The fruit is exceptionally juicy with a rich, complex sweet-tart flavor and earthy undertones that many compare to fine Cabernet grapes. Its distinctive taste has made it the benchmark by which many other blackberry varieties are judged.

Developed by Oregon State University and named after Marion County, Oregon, the Marionberry has earned a reputation as one of the finest blackberries available. The berries are packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, making them as nutritious as they are delicious. They are outstanding for fresh eating and are especially prized for pies, cobblers, jams, jellies, syrups, and other homemade desserts.

Marionberry plants have a vigorous trailing growth habit and produce thorny canes that benefit from a trellis or other support system. With proper care, they reward gardeners with abundant harvests of premium-quality berries year after year.
