Our crew was picking blackberries yesterday from the cultivar/selection trial directed by Dr. Martin Kaps. The majority of the different types (both thorny and thornless) were bearing fruit. The cultivars include Apache, Arapaho, Chester, Chickasaw, Kiowa, Natchez, Navaho, Ouachita, Prime-Jim, Prime-Jan, Prime-Ark45, Triple Crown and Loch Ness. The selections are APF-40 and A-2362-T.
