Prime-Ark® 45 Blackberry Plant – The Ultimate Dual-Cropping Marvel
Dual-Cropping Excellence:
- Prime-Ark® 45 – A Breakthrough in Blackberry Breeding: Discover the revolutionary Prime-Ark® 45 Blackberry Plant, the third primocane-fruiting variety developed by the University of Arkansas' renowned Prime-Ark® series. This unique plant is designed to produce two abundant crops each year, extending your blackberry harvest season like never before.
Innovative Primocane Fruiting:
- Primocane and Floricane Production: Unlike traditional blackberry plants that only produce fruit on floricanes (second-year canes), the Prime-Ark® 45 boasts the ability to fruit on both primocanes (first-year canes) and floricanes. This groundbreaking feature allows you to enjoy blackberries from early summer through fall, with floricane berries ready for picking from early to mid-June and primocane berries maturing in August and continuing until frost.
High-Yielding Variety:
- Exceptional Yield: Prime-Ark® 45 is known for its impressive yields, particularly during the June harvest, surpassing its predecessor, Prime-Jim. Whether you're growing in the humid South or the milder climates of the West Coast, this plant delivers consistently high yields of delicious blackberries.
Superior Fruit Quality:
- Larger Berries, Better Flavor: Floricane berries are medium to large in size, offering a substantial and satisfying bite. Primocane berries, while slightly smaller in hotter climates like Arkansas, are larger and juicier in regions with moderate summers, such as Oregon and California. The berries boast an improved flavor profile, with a sugar level rated at a 10, just under the popular Ouachita variety, ensuring each berry is bursting with sweetness.
Perfect for Storage and Shipping:
- Durable and Delicious: The Prime-Ark® 45 Blackberry Plant produces berries that not only taste great but are also well-suited for storage and shipping. This makes it an excellent choice for both home gardeners and commercial growers looking to share their harvest.
Extended Harvest Season:
- Enjoy Berries from June to Frost: With its unique dual-cropping ability, the Prime-Ark® 45 allows you to extend your blackberry harvest well beyond the typical season. Enjoy fresh, flavorful blackberries from early summer all the way into the fall, making the most of your gardening efforts.
Join the Revolution in Blackberry Growing:
- Prime-Ark® 45 – A Game-Changer in Blackberry Cultivation: Developed through conventional crossbreeding techniques at the University of Arkansas, this blackberry plant is a testament to modern horticultural innovation. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a novice, the Prime-Ark® 45 is the perfect addition to your garden, offering an extended harvest, exceptional flavor, and robust growth.
