New Blackberry Cultivars

Blackberries can be a great place to start if you want to grow fruit. UT Assistant Professor of Residential and Consumer Horticulture Natalie Bumgarner talks about what options are out there. Blackberries traditionally fruit on floricanes or second year canes. But, there are now primocane blackberries that fruit on the first year cane in fall. Primocane plants can make management easy and reduce diseases.  Natalie shows several new cultivars of blackberry developed by the University of Arkansas.
