Karaka Black Berry bushes have thorns, but produce high yields of easy to reach and pick fruit. The fruit ripens over a 6 to 8 week period, making it good for pick your own operations.

The berries are large, about 1/3 oz (10 g) in weight.

The longish, glossy black berries are firm with a mild blackberry taste. They can be tart if not allowed to fully ripen.
