The 'Apache' blackberry seem to be well adapted to the loamy soil here in the coastal plain of southeastern NC. This picture was taken on Sept. 4th and by the looks of these 6-8ft primocanes, my trellis will have to be installed sooner than I had anticipated.
New Dawn Organics will have a small crop of blackberries to compliment the 2013 blueberry season.
These blackberry primocanes are taller than me in just four short months! Check out the beautiful Carolina blue sky...Go Heels!!
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.
