Arapaho' was released as a named variety in 1993. The fruit flavor is superior to semi-erect thornless blackberries. Since it has not been widely planted, 'Arapaho's' disease resistance is not thoroughly tested. It seems especially attractive to stink bugs. The fruit are large and firm, with excellent flavor, ripening in mid-season.
Root cuttings are readily successful as a propagation method.
A disease control program is recommended. The fruit are very large throughout the season. The flavor is slightly better than Comanche, but not as good as Cherokee. Cheyenne has smaller seeds than Cherokee. The fruit ripen in mid-season, slightly earlier than Cherokee.
