Blackberry, Ouachita

Scientific Name: Rubus X 'Ouachita'

The Ouachita Blackberry is a robust and productive variety known for its exceptional fruit quality and disease resistance. This thornless cultivar produces large, sweet blackberries that are ideal for fresh eating, preserves, and baking. The berries typically ripen in mid-summer.

Characterized by its vigorous growth habit, the Ouachita Blackberry can reach heights of 4 to 6 feet, making it suitable for both home gardens and larger landscapes. Its upright growth reduces the need for trellising, allowing for easy maintenance and harvesting. Tip the ends of the canes in summertime to induce branching.

With its combination of flavor, yield, and ease of care, the Ouachita Blackberry stands out as a reliable choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
