description for "Berries: Rubus laciniatus cv. 'Stark Jumbo' (Shawnee)"
Stark Jumbo Blackberries outperform all other varieties in size of berry and in size of crop. Make fresh, juicy blackberry cobbler with just a handful of these huge, 1 1/2" berries, and you'll have lots left to enjoy on your morning cereal. That's if you can keep the rest of the family from snitching 'em. Don't worry, though, these ripen over a much longer time than ordinary types. You'll start eating Stark Jumbos in early July in Zone 6. U.S. Plant Patent No. 5686. Edited by M.Tate.
