With an average weight of 8g\/berry (as heavy as 10g), Apache consistently grows some of the largest fruit you will find among the Arkansas thornless varieties. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eApache Thornless Blackberry has an erect stature with thornless canes, and it typically has a long ripening period (5 weeks) for a steady, well-sustained harvest. Having among the largest berries in size is not the only attribute for which Apache can claim high honors - it also consistently produces one of the best and heaviest yields (lbs. fruit\/bush) among the Arkansas thornless group. And, because it has an upright growth habit and an erect stature, the home gardener should not require a trellis system or fence to support even the heaviest harvest of berries that Apache is known to produce. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe ripened fruit of Apache has very good post-harvest potential, and with its high Soluble Sugar content (10-11%), Apache finds itself among the sweetest berries in the group. Of course, this makes the big berries a fantastic choice for all kinds of eating options - from simply enjoying them fresh-picked, right out of the garden, to including them in all kinds of desserts, or as a great topping for cereal, yogurt, and ice cream - you simply can't go wrong with Apache!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eApache is a sun-loving, self-pollinating floricane, and is resistant to Double Bloom-Rosette (DB-R) and Orange Rust disease.

However, where space is limited, a blackberry cane will produce good crops even when grown in shade, which is something no other common fruit plants will do. Blackberries will grow reasonably well in most soil types except for very compacted clay or light chalky soil. In these soils it'll be worth your time to mix in lots of organic compost to condition the soil and add beneficial nutrients and bacteria plants need to grow healthy. Blackberries grow and produce the best fruit in well-drained but moist fertile soil that is rich in organic matter with a pH of 5.5 to 7.0. They like the soil to hold a good supply of water, especially when the fruits are developing in summer, but not so much water that the soil stays constantly soggy or wet.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelpful Articles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eClick on a link below for helpful advice from our experts on planting and caring for Blackberry bushes.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Plant A Blackberry Bush\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Fertilize \u0026amp; Water Blackberry Bushes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Prune And Train Blackberry Bushes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eI ordered a 1-gallon Apache Thornless Blackberry.
