Ouachita Thornless Blackberry Bush

What could be better than the Ouachita Blackberry Bush (Rubus ursinus 'Ouachita') you ask? Two Ouachita Blackberry bushes! This newer variety was developed by the University of Arkansas, producing tempting clusters of shiny black berries…loads of them! In fact, the canes might become so heavy with fruit that they bend to the ground!

In spring, clusters of cheerful pinkish-white blossoms form up and down your Ouachita Floricanes, pulling in bees and butterflies from all around. This variety self-pollinates, but order enough so you can eat all you want straight from the cane and still have more to bake into whatever delicious treats that your family loves!

Pronounced 'watch-it-taw', Ouachita Blackberries give you plenty of large, glossy black, conical-shaped berries that are firm and sweet! Ripening around June depending on your climate, these are supreme snacks right off the canes! Bite into one and your mouth will be filled with rich, aromatic juice, perfect for eating fresh or turning into pies, cobblers or muffins.

Planting and Application:

The Ouachita Blackberry is thornless, so no little prickers when you want to pick them. This makes them very kid-friendly too! They give you a consistent crop year after year, starting their second year so you don't have to wait too long to enjoy them!

Plant them in your pollinator, kitchen and vegetable garden or grow them as an edible border for your yard. These are great for privacy screens and bird-friendly groupings! Use as you would any flowering shrub with fall color, that also just happens to produce snacks!
