Blackberry Prime-Ark Freedom
Blackberry Prime-Ark Freedom
Prime Ark Freedom Blackberry, scientifically known as Rubus 'Prime-Ark Freedom', is a breakthrough cultivar developed by the University of Arkansas breeding program. This remarkable blackberry offers a combination of desirable traits, including thornless canes, large and sweet berries, and the ability to produce fruit on both primocanes (first-year growth) and floricanes (second-year growth), resulting in an extended harvest season.
One of the standout features of Prime Ark Freedom Blackberry is its delicious fruit, which is large, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The berries ripen in early to midsummer on the primocanes and continue to produce fruit on the floricanes into the fall, providing a continuous harvest from June to October in many regions. Whether enjoyed fresh, frozen, or used in jams, jellies, and desserts, Prime Ark Freedom Blackberries are sure to delight with their exceptional taste and versatility in the kitchen.
In addition to its delicious fruit, Prime Ark Freedom Blackberry is also prized for its ease of cultivation and low maintenance requirements. The thornless canes make harvesting a breeze, and the plant's vigorous growth habit ensures a bountiful crop year after year. It prefers well-drained soil and full sun but can tolerate a range of soil types and growing conditions, making it suitable for home gardens, orchards, and commercial berry farms alike.
Prime Ark Freedom Blackberry is relatively disease-resistant and requires minimal pruning to maintain its vigor and shape. Annual pruning to remove old canes and encourage new growth is recommended, along with regular watering and fertilization to support healthy fruit production.
