The Prime-Ark 45 Blackberry is a distinct variety from the Prime-Ark Freedom. Similar to the Freedom, this Prime-Ark 45 fruits quickly as it fruits on both primocanes (the first season's branches) and floricanes (blackberry language for the second season's branches). As opposed to the Freedom, the Prime-Ark 45 does grow thorns.
