Prime-Ark® 45 Blackberry

Prime-Ark® 45 Blackberry

This revolutionary Prime-Ark® 45 Blackberry, new, primocane variety bears abundant crops of berries on current season wood. No pruning required, just cut plants to the ground in the fall. This makes it one of the easier varieties to maintain and prevent from spreading. From an Arkansas breeding program, Prime-Ark® fruit ripens in early to mid-September and is large and sweet with classic Blackberry flavor.
