Cheyenne' ripens early to midseason, compared to the other Arkansas cultivars, and its yield is high. Canes are upright and thorny. Choctaw' ripens early, compared to the other Arkansas cultivars, and its yield is high. Canes are upright and thornless. Navajo' ripens late, compared to the other Arkansas cultivars, and its yield is moderate.
Canes are upright and thorny.
Shawnee' ripens late, compared to the other Arkansas cultivars, and its yield is high. Seed size is small, and fruit is larger than 'Cherokee' and fairly firm. This study was established to determine if these ten blackberry cultivars could be successfully grown in southern Arizona. Additionally, we wished to determine if subsequent cultivar yield and fruit quality data would suggest that a commercial blackberry industry in the area could be profitable.
