Rubus species X - Prime Ark Freedom
Prime Ark Freedom is the first thornless primocane-fruiting blackberry. Unlike traditional blackberries, which fruit the year after planting, Prime Ark Freedom fruits early in the season and again in the fall, where the climate is suitable. It produces large, flavorful fruit and has an upright growth habit that requires little or no staking. Ideal for Zones 6-8, with a recommended spacing of 5 feet apart or in a 5-foot circle.
