(Rubus)

Comprising some 250 species of small to medium-sized, often prickly shrubs, this cosmopolitan genus includes the raspberries, blackberries, and many other valuable culinary and ornamental plants.

(Amity Raspberry, Raspberry)

An everbearing cultivar that saves its biggest yield for late summer, 'Amity' is a hybrid raspberry developed by F.J. Lawrence of Corvallis, Oregon.

The early fruits are borne on second year canes; the late fruits on first year canes. The firm uniform berries are good fresh, canned, or frozen.

This cultivar prefers sun and well-drained,...

(Blackberry)

Among the latest blooming and heaviest bearing of its kind, 'Apache' is an erect thornless deciduous shrub grown for its delicious blackberries. The large glossy jet-black fruits ripen over a 5-week span in early summer on sturdy upright suckering canes. The juicy sweet berries are good fresh, canned, or baked.

This hybrid blackberry likes sun and well drained, humus-rich soil, but may benefit from some shade and a cool summer mulch in hot climates. It flowers and fruits on second-year wood,...

(Arapaho Blackberry, Blackberry)

Thornless and heavy-bearing, 'Arapaho' is an erect blackberry grown for its delicious jet black fruits. It's one of the earliest fruiting thornless blackberries, and was bred by James N. Moore of Fayetteville, Arkansas as a hand-pollinated cross between Arkansas Selection 631 and Arkansas Selection 883. The flavorful, firm fruits are medium-sized, black and produced in abundance. In the South, they can begin fruiting as early as late spring.

Full sun is required for best plant growth and fruit...

An heirloom blackberry introduced in 1924, 'Austin Thornless' bears large tart purple-black berries on trailing thornless canes in late spring. The berries are excellent for pies and preserves.

It flowers and fruits on second-year wood, which should be pruned to the ground in fall. Train first-year stems to a trellis. As with all thornless blackberries, its...

In late spring to early summer its erect prickly stems produce a modest number of sweet dark red medium-sized berries, followed by a much heavier crop from midsummer to frost. Its first late-season berries ripen days or weeks earlier than those of other cultivars. The early fruits are borne on second year canes; the late fruits on first...
