Blackberry - Balsor's Hardy

Balsor's Hardy

The Balsor’s Hardy blackberry is a standout selection for Canadian home gardens, especially in cooler climates. This floricane‑fruiting variety, developed in Nova Scotia, produces large, sweet and juicy black fruit typically harvested in late August. It is exceptionally winter‑hardy — suitable for zones 3 – 4 — making it a rare and valuable option for gardeners who want blackberries in cold regions. It’s ideal for fresh eating, baking, jams or preserves, with strong performance when planted in a sun‑loving, well‑drained site. 

Blackberry canes demand similar upkeep to raspberries and should be pruned each year to promote plant health and maximize fruit production. Remove the older, two-year-old canes that bore fruit the previous season during autumn or early spring, before new growth begins.
