Blackberry ‘Obsidian’ is prized for its exceptionally early cropping, producing its first fruits in early July, and even as early as late June in warm summers—making it one of the very first blackberries of the season. This superb season extender ensures you can enjoy fresh, homegrown berries well ahead of the usual schedule.

The fruits themselves are large, conical, and packed with juicy, fleshy goodness. The firm texture of the berries means they hold their shape beautifully in the fridge or freezer, retaining both colour and quality for longer.

‘Obsidian’ boasts a moderately vigorous growth habit that supports its impressive yields, with fruit displayed openly for easy and efficient picking.

To top it off, this variety shows good resistance to all major blackberry diseases, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice. Whether you’re looking to get a head start on the season or simply enjoy high-quality fruit with minimal fuss, ‘Obsidian’ delivers on all fronts. Ultimate height: 2m (6.5ft). Ultimate spread: 2.5m (8.2ft).

Growing Information

Plant blackberry bushes in a sunny position in any well drained soil. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the ground prior to planting. When growing blackberry plants, support the stems on a framework of wires stretched between sturdy 1.8m (6') posts, or trained against a trellis or wall.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

Large Non-standard items may incur a higher, lorry delivery charge. Charges will be calculated at checkout, but an example of the lorry charges are listed below.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
