Apache Blackberry Plants Tissue Culture

Why are Tissue Culture grown fruiting plants exciting and why should you choose to plant them?

• Consistent Quality: Tissue Culture produced plants are clones of the parent plants, ensuring the same growing characteristics. The key lies in parent plant selection—only the best of each variety are cloned, guaranteeing top-notch quality.

• Vigor: Tissue Culture plants are continually in growth mode during their first year. Container-grown TC plants keep growing until frosts hit in the fall.

• Superior Branching: By selecting the best plants for parent stock, we ensure stronger branching, resulting in more blooms and heavier crops.

• True to Type: Tissue Culture allows for precise cloning in a lab, producing exact replicas of the parent plant.
