Start your blackberry season early with Caddo Blackberry Plug Plants — an advanced, thornless early-season variety developed for both home gardeners and commercial growers. Caddo produces large, glossy blackberries with outstanding sweetness, firm texture, and a rich, classic flavor that makes them ideal for fresh eating, baking, canning, or farmers market sales.

Featuring upright, vigorous, and thornless canes, Caddo is easy to maintain and harvest without risk of pricks or scratches. It ripens earlier than many other varieties, providing an excellent head start on the berry season. With high yield potential and excellent disease resistance, Caddo thrives in USDA Zones 5–9, performing reliably in both home gardens and small-scale fruit operations.

Each 1-year-old bare root plug ships dormant and ready to plant in spring or fall, establishing quickly for seasons of flavorful, early harvests.
