Comments: A new variety introduced in 1999. It produces higher yielding and larger fruit than other Arkansas thornless, erect varieties.

Growing Great!

Apache Thornless Blackberry shipped to me on 5/6/11. Placed the small plant in a small pot with potting soil to get it established a bit, then placed it in the ground. Here it is 8/19/11 and I have a beautiful healthy 3' tall plant thriving through day after day of Texas 100+ degree heat, possibly record heat and we'll know the records in Autumn.

I purchased 6 Apache thornless bushes last year. This year we have an abundance of huge, sweet berries and NO thorns. The best of both worlds. I'm from Okla and used to the wild ones w/ killer thorns. I really didn't think these would have near the flavor but they are fantastic! You won't be disappointed.

When these plants arrived I was a little surprised to see a stick with roots, but wasn't worried. I planted them and watered and tended them. After a few weeks I was worried that they weren't going to sprout but right after I determined to call gurney's if they didn't gain leaves soon little leaves appeared right at the soil level and they are now happy and healthy little plants. Just posting this to make sure others don't get overly worried like I did. =3
