New Primocane Blackberry Variety Prime Ark 'Freedom'

Aug 28, 2013

Really nice video clip on the new Prime Ark 'Freedom' variety just released by John Clark from the University of Arkansas breeding program.  It's the first commercially available thornless primocane bearing blackberry.

Please take note growers that this variety is very much oriented to the home gardener and not intended for large scale production for shipping.

Very nice explanation too by Dr. Clark on the difference between primocanes and floricanes.  Have a look.
