Newberry Thorny is a new trailing blackberry/hybrid variety released by USDA  in cooperation with  Oregon State University in 1992. Named being a really new berry in the market and to remember the Oregon origin- Newberry Crater in Central Oregon. in its origin we can find Boysenberry, Marionberry, Loganberry and dewberry ( Rubus Ursinus). Its color ( not black enough, too purple to be a  real blackberry ) can be recognized by raspberry origin in those cultivars. Newberry was selected for its large fruit size ( 35% larger than Marion, its shape closer to Boysenberry), firmness, remembered  flavor ( and a good ballance between sugar and acid), vigor, productivity, and disease tolerance. 1 gal.
