The Columbia Star Blackberry Plant (Rubus) is a thornless blackberry variety cherished for its superior flavor, large fruit, and reliable productivity. Developed for both ease of growth and high fruit quality, this blackberry plant is ideal for home gardeners seeking an easy-to-harvest variety. The Columbia Star Blackberry is known for its unique flavor profile, combining sweetness with a subtle tartness that makes it perfect for fresh eating, baking, and preserving. The plant itself is vigorous yet compact, allowing for easy care and maintenance in smaller spaces or container gardens. The thornless canes make pruning and harvesting hassle-free, and with proper care, the plant produces high yields of large, juicy berries that are firm enough to store well after picking. Highly adaptable to different climates, the Columbia Star Blackberry is a versatile addition to any garden, providing fresh berries for weeks during the harvest season.- Watering: Columbia Star Blackberries thrive in consistently moist soil. Water the plant deeply once a week, especially during dry spells, ensuring the root zone is thoroughly moistened without creating standing water. Regular watering is essential during the fruiting season to support plump, juicy berries.
- Sunlight: For optimal growth and fruit production, place the Columbia Star Blackberry in a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Full sun ensures the sweetest berries and helps the plant produce fruit reliably each season.
- Soil Requirements: This blackberry plant prefers rich, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Amend heavy soils with organic matter, such as compost, to improve drainage and provide a healthy growing medium that promotes strong root development and plant growth.
- Growth Habit: The Columbia Star Blackberry is a trailing variety with thornless, flexible canes that make it easy to train along a trellis or fence. It reaches a mature height of approximately 3-4 feet, with a spread that can be controlled with proper support and pruning.
- Berry Characteristics: The berries of this variety are large, firm, and deep purple-black when ripe. Known for their exceptional flavor, the berries have a balanced sweetness and acidity that’s ideal for fresh consumption, desserts, and jams, with a unique taste that distinguishes them from other varieties.
- Blackberry plants are fruiting shrubs. They belong to the genus Rubus in the rose family Rosaceae. Blackberry bushes produce fruits called blackberries. Much like their close cousin the raspberry, blackberries contain high levels of antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, and dietary fiber. They contain very little overall fat and zero saturated fat.
- As members of the Rosaceae family, the cultivation of blackberries resembles that of rose bushes. Fortunately, blackberries are closer to wild roses in their ease of care than they are to a hybrid tea rose. Blackberries will tolerate many growing conditions.
- Sites with full sun are best for productive blackberry bushes. Some afternoon shade is tolerated, especially in areas with hot summers.
- Careful site selection will ensure a long life for your blackberries, which usually live for about a decade with proper care. The ideal soil is slightly acidic with good drainage; these plants do not do well in clay soil. An elevated site or raised beds will not only help drainage but will also prevent late spring frosts from damaging flower buds.
- Blackberries need moderate amounts of water, around 1 inch per week provided either by rainfall or from ground-level irrigation. Blackberries do not fare well in wet soils.

A Disconnected and Legally Shaky Defense of Racial Preferences
Format: Paperback
While this book raises some thought-provoking points, it ultimately reads like a product of self-righteous elites disconnected from reality and from the American public.
1. Ignores public opinion.
The author never acknowledges that polls consistently show Americans oppose racial preferences in college admissions. Proposition 16—which would have allowed such preferences—was defeated by a wide margin in 2020 in California, one of the nation’s most liberal states. A Brookings poll found that virtually all racial groups, including Black respondents, supported the Supreme Court’s Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) decision.
2. Starts with a strange premise.
The first chapter claims conservatives will “regret” the SFFA ruling because universities will continue racial preferences covertly. But that sidesteps the real question: why shouldn’t colleges comply with the ruling’s letter and spirit?
3. Offers dubious legal advice.
In Chapter Three, the author—himself a law professor—floats risky ideas for “working around” the Supreme Court’s decision. Many of these suggestions rest on shaky legal ground, as anyone familiar with the Second Circuit’s CACAGNY v. Adams, 116 F.4th 161 (2d Cir. 2024), would recognize.
4. Ignores proportionality and real-world outcomes.
The book argues for “diversity” preferences without asking how much preference is justified. In reality, Asian American applicants face steep penalties. e.g. Stanley Zhong was rejected by five University of California campuses’ Computer Science programs as an in-state applicant—shortly before Google hired him for a full-time, Ph.D.-level software engineering position. Meanwhile, UC San Diego’s own freshman math-placement data show a surge of students—mostly “underrepresented minorities” favored by UC—placed into remedial courses, some testing at a 4th-grade level. It is hard to see how admitting these students is helping them other than allowing some elites to make themselves feel good or get a promotion.
If this book represents what passes for legal scholarship at Yale, the state of American legal education should worry us all.

Adherence to the Rule of Law Must Not Become a Fair Weather Sport
Format: Paperback
The memorable quotation I have used for the title of this review comes from the second chapter (I think) of "The Fall of Affirmative Action." What is actually happening in the United States is that the law is being enforced rigorously against "enemy" institutions such as those of higher learning and not at all against those with power, money, or affinity for same.
The author, an African-American Yale Law professor, devotes his first chapter to the ways in which conservatives might critique the SCOTUS precedent that ended affirmative action and his second to the ways in which liberals might critique it. His most invaluable contribution to the debate is that civil rights can be advocated from an anti-classification standpoint or an anti-subordination standpoint, with anti-subordinationists on both sides of the affirmative action debate. This forced me to take perhaps a harder look at my own beliefs than most books or articles about affirmative action. African-Americans are certainly subordinated in reality by being excluded from higher education but they are subordinated mostly in the minds of white Americans by the fact that a white applicant with the same scores, extracurriculars and admission essays might not get in. That at least is the conclusion I have come to.
"Students for Fair Admissions," the organization that brought down affirmative action before SCOTUS, has now sued those few elite educational institutions that DIDN'T see sharp drops in their African-American enrollment. One strongly suspects that SFFA if not the "Justices" they persuaded will be happy only with a formal quota for African-Americans which is half or less their proportion in the population of the state where the institution is located.

Provocative and fascinating read
Format: Paperback
Justin Driver's excellent book makes the case that conservatives may come to regret the Supreme Court's 2023 decision striking down affirmative action in college admissions. He argues that, rather than simply check a box to indicate their race, the decision will force non-white applicants to "perform their trauma" in application essays in ways that conservatives may find even more corrosive. And affluent non-white candidates--the people conservatives say should not be benefiting from affirmative action--will be the ones best-positioned to take advantage of the opportunity, since they are most equipped to exploit the loopholes and work-arounds that the Roberts decision created. A truly provocative read.
