Rubus fruticosus 'Arapaho'
Rubus fruticosus ‘Arapaho’ is an early thornless blackberry known for its ease of cultivation and consistent harvest quality. This bushy, upright fruiting shrub develops vigorous, naturally erect stems, facilitating cultivation in rows or on a light trellis. It produces shiny black fruits, medium to large in size, firm, juicy, and very sweet, perfect for fresh consumption, jams, and freezing. Its early summer fruiting on previous year's canes allows harvesting to begin in early summer. Its dense green foliage attracts pollinators and contributes to the garden's nourishing appeal. Rubus fruticosus ‘Arapaho’ combines early production, reliable yield, and simplified maintenance thanks to the absence of thorns.
