An excellent new blackberry introduction from the late great plant breeder, Chad Finn. It is similar in a lot of ways to one of its parents, Triple Crown, but with a thicker skin that adds a different texture for fresh eating and also allows these berries to be shipped easier. It is also ripens earlier than Triple Crown expanding the fresh fruit season.

Prime-Ark® Traveler Thornless Blackberry is the second primocane thornless blackberry released by the University of Arkansas. These innovative introductions have the ability to ripen large delicious blackberries on both current season’s wood (the primocanes) and second year wood (floricanes). This means commercial producers and home gardeners alike will receive a prolonged harvest season and be harvesting blackberries long into summer and even fall. Prime-Ark® Traveler is particularly well suited to shorter growing seasons as it reliably ripens its primocane crop earlier in the season.  They are also particularly easy to manage for those of you who don’t want to build a trellis for your blackberries as they can be cut back completely in fall and will fruit on the current wood next season, though you will not get the floricane crop if you do this.

Another one of Luther Burbank’s many wonderful introductions to horticulture, Snowbank White Blackberry produces large crops of “black” berries that are fully white when they ripen! They still have that delicious blackberry flavor and make a great conversation piece in the garden or exciting addition to fruit salads. Has been around since 1916 and is still a winner!

The Columbia Giant Thornless Blackberry is easily the largest blackberry we’ve ever seen! And it tastes amazing too. Columbia Giant is a result of the hard work of Dr. Chad Finn in Corvallis, Oregon. Columbia Giant produces thornless and vigorous trailing vines with fruits that are firm and easy to harvest with a conical shape and a pleasantly sweet flavor and just enough tartness to make it a very well balanced fruit.

The Columbia Star Thornless Blackberry is another exciting new addition to the blackberry world courtesy of the USDA and Oregon State University! Columbia Star has the beloved Marionberry in its lineage and the flavor of these large berries has been rated as good or even better than the Marionberry! Vines are vigorous and trailing and fruits ripen in mid July here in the Willamette Valley. Another added bonus for the Columbia Star is that it is reportedly even more cold hardy than the Marionberry. Fruit is easy to pick by hand or by machine harvesting making it a winner for home gardeners as well as commercial growers.
