Start your picking season earlier with this very large, heavy yielding cultivar with delicious marionberry like flavor. It is hardier than Marion. Pacific Northwest berry breeders have developed this bright black, thorny, early season wonder and are releasing it for the first time. Obsidian is also excellent for machine harvesting. Ripens mid-July.
Plant Silvan for its outstanding sweet Marionberry-like flavor and an earlier harvest: plants kick off heavier production two weeks before Marion and produce for up to two months. Silvan is hardier than Marion. Plants are thorny and staples in the Pacific Northwest. 4' pot.
