Apache Blackberry Shrub

Picking is quick and easy with Apache Thornless Blackberry. The thornless plants produce some of the largest fruits and highest yields of any of the thornless blackberries. The extra-large, glossy, black berries are sweet, juicy and flavorful, too. They’re great for eating fresh, and also delicious when cooked into cobblers, desserts and preserves. The flowers are extra-fertile, so you get more cone-shaped berries that are perfectly formed. The canes stand erect. Fruits ripen in mid to late June. Blackberries prefer loamy, well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5 to 7.0, and thrive in a full sun location with six to eight hours of direct sunshine. Their average height and spread varies widely, but in general, you’ll need to place each plant about three to five feet apart if you plan to grow more than one.
