Blackberry ‘Arapaho’
Rubus fruiticosus ‘Arapaho’
LANDSCAPE USE
These plants take the trouble out of blackberries, no thorns, no bending to pick the fruit off the vines, and fruits twice a year. The first fruit show up on last years canes in early summer, in fall the new growths produce so harvest is spread over time. Best performance is trellised or grown in tomato cages, to support the upright, thorn free canes
PRUNING
Remove third year branches in late winter to encourage vigorous sprouting, and fruit production twice yearly. For a single bumper crop yearly, remove all growth just a few inches from the ground.
