Arapaho Thornless Blackberry

Rubus argutus 'Arapaho' Arapaho is a thornless, self supporting, blackberry.   Glossy & Smooth Fruit. The berries are fantastically sweet without a sour bite after-taste. What's even more appealing is that it is Self-pollinating. This ultra-hardy bush is a good producer. Photos courtesy of our growing friends at Bottoms Nursery in Concord, GA.
