Prime-Ark Freedom Blackberry - Rubus

Prime-Ark Freedom is a new and record-breaking variety that gives you the freedom to eat delicious blackberries in season throughout the summer and fall--a nice perk for a fruit that typically only has one fruiting season. No other variety in the world is both thornless and primocane-fruiting. While most blackberries only bear fruit on floricanes (blackberry language for the second season's branches), Prime-ark Freedom fruits on primocanes (the first season's branches) and floricanes. If you're looking for large, delicious blackberries that are thornless, easy-to-grow, and have a long and early fruiting season, this is the variety for you.
