How to Grow Ouachita Blackberries
With relatively low maintenance, this variety is disease-resistant to rosette disease. This blackberry plant is heat-tolerant, and grows well in the south. This variety has also been successfully grown in many U.S. regions, such as in western, mid-western, and north-eastern states.
It is a summer-bearing floricane, with fruit ripening mid-season in June, before Navaho blackberries. Fruiting extends for about 5 weeks! Ouachita is self-pollinating and easy to grow. Your family will enjoy having homegrown fruit for years to come!
This is an award-winning sweet, thornless blackberry bred by the University of Arkansas.
