We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.

The leaves are bright and vibrant. No thorns - as promised and just today I see what I think are beginnings of berries. I'm so excited to have fresh blackberries in my own yard.
We received this plant a month or two ago, It was bear root. We planted it and it is growing and looking very healthy, so far so good! We can’t wait until we get to try some berries!
What a great blackberry plant. Plant has grown to a large multi-cained monster plant that has given me so many huge and tasty blackberries. I would highly recommend this plant. Love, Love, Love it.
