Prime Ark Freedom Blackberry

The Prime Ark Freedom Blackberry (Rubus fruticosus 'Prime Ark Freedom') is a thornless hybrid cultivar from the University of Arkansas, thriving in USDA zones 5-9. This vigorous, erect variety reaches 5-6 feet tall with a 3-4 foot spread, producing abundant large, sweet, juicy berries. Its dual-bearing capability yields harvests on both current-year and previous-year canes, with early summer ripening followed by fall production. Disease-resistant and adaptable, it performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and consistent moisture. The plant attracts pollinators and beneficial insects, making it an excellent addition to productive landscapes.
