Blackberry Big from Himalaya Chanderlock Guesthouse (Rubus fruticosus) – Premium Seeds from Deodar Seeds
Blackberry Big from Himalaya Chanderlock Guesthouse (Rubus fruticosus) is a rare and vigorous blackberry variety native to the Himalayan region. This unique selection, discovered near the Chanderlock Guesthouse, thrives in the pristine mountain environment, producing exceptionally large, flavorful berries. Known for its resilience and high productivity, this Himalayan blackberry is well-suited for both home gardens and commercial cultivation.
Plant Characteristics
This fast-growing deciduous shrub features thorny, arching canes that can reach up to 2–3 meters (6–10 feet) in length. The dark green, serrated leaves provide a lush appearance, while delicate white to pale pink flowers bloom in spring, attracting pollinators. The fruit is significantly larger than standard blackberries, measuring 2–4 cm (0.8–1.6 inches) in length and weighing 8–15 grams (0.3–0.5 oz) per berry. The berries ripen from deep red to glossy black, offering a firm texture and juicy interior.
Taste and Health Benefits
These Himalayan blackberries have a rich, sweet-tart flavor, with a balance of intense berry notes and mild acidity. They are packed with vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber, and antioxidants, supporting immune health, digestion, and cardiovascular function. Blackberries are also known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties, making them a highly nutritious fruit.
Cultivation Guidelines
This variety thrives in temperate to subtropical climates, preferring full sun to partial shade and well-draining loamy soil with a pH of 5.5–7.0. Seeds require cold stratification for 3–4 months to enhance germination. After stratification, sow in a moist, warm environment, with germination occurring within 4–8 weeks. Young plants need regular watering, while mature bushes become more drought-tolerant. Prune after fruiting to maintain productivity and manage growth. This variety typically begins fruiting in the second or third year after planting.
Uses and Applications
Himalayan blackberries are excellent for fresh consumption, jams, jellies, baked goods, and beverages. Their naturally high pectin content makes them ideal for preserves, while their rich flavor enhances smoothies and desserts. Medicinally, blackberry leaves and fruits have been used in traditional remedies for digestive health, skin care, and immune support. The dense, trailing growth makes this plant a good option for natural fencing and erosion control.
Seed Quality and Packaging
Our seeds are carefully hand-collected from healthy, productive plants in the Himalayan region, ensuring high germination rates. They are cleaned, tested, and packaged for maximum viability, providing optimal results for growers.
