Arapaho Blackberry, thornless, cold hardy disease resistant, well rooted. Arapaho Blackberries do not need a trellis, and have an excellent sweet flavor. Arapaho Blackberry is a new release from the University of Arkansas. Arapaho Blackberry has an excellent sweet flavor, good size, firm fruit and heavy production.
This year we have selected America's leading premier grower for berry plants to furnish our berry loving Greenwood Nursery customers. These plants are grown in the northern climates for cold hardiness yet produce abundant fruit as far south as planting zone 9.
Imagine having fresh berries to sprinkle on breakfast cereals, for desserts, homemade pies, or just picked fresh off the vine. Children absolutely go wild during picking, and since they are thornless, there is no danger of little wounds to heal.
Arapaho Blackberry ripens two weeks earlier than Navaho and also produces sucker plants which allow the Arapaho Blackberry to quickly establish a solid hedge row of plants. We believe Arapaho Blackberry is the earliest Thornless Blackberry in existence. Zones: 4-9
