It's obvious to see the erect growth habit of Ouachita, but it's pretty fast growing as well. Only 3-4" when planted in early May, this plant is 12-14" tall now! Although erect, a trellis will be installed this winter to better support the berries next June.
Apache is one of the thornless blackberry varieties newly planted at New Dawn. These plants were planted really late (early May), but they are growing well. The primocanes growing on this plant will be the floricanes which will bear fruit next summer. Apache has a real depth of flavor which makes it one of my favorites!
