Rubus Magical® Joy

Strong, upright stems eliminate staking

Ideal for cut‑flower growers, this exceptional blackberry produces straight, upright stems that never require staking. Unlike traditional running types, it flowers on one‑year‑old wood, eliminating the need for double‑row rotations and simplifying production. White blooms give way to extra‑large, sweet, edible fruits. Branches are harvested while berries are still green, making stems easier to handle and less vulnerable during shipping. A truly distinctive variety that sets growers apart.
