Apache Thorn less blackberry - (New Patent) This new release from Arkansas produces larger fruit and higher yields than any of the other previously released Arkansas thorn less erect blackberry cultivars.

Apache will ripen 10 days or more later than Arapaho but earlier than Navaho. The Apache fruit are blocky and conical with a very attractive glossy black color. Early reports show fruit to be larger than Arapaho or Navaho with eating and holding characteristics to be better than Arapaho but not quite as good as Navaho fruit.

Canes of Apache are more erect than other thorn less varieties and can be grown without a trellis when primo canes are tipped at 42" to control primo cane length and encourage lateral shoot growth. Apache should grow well where Arapaho and Navaho have been successfully grown. 2 yr #1 plants Zones: 5-8
