Buy Prime-Ark Freedom Blackberry Plants for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Prime-Ark Freedom is a thornless blackberry developed by the University of Arkansas. It produces large, sweet berries and can fruit on both second-year canes and new canes.

For North Florida gardeners, the spring crop on second-year canes is the one to plan around. Prime-Ark Freedom can also produce fruit on new canes later in the season, but Florida’s summer heat may reduce that crop. Its thornless canes make picking and pruning more comfortable.

Plant Details:

  • Plant Type: Perennial fruiting cane
  • Botanical Name: Rubus ‘Prime-Ark Freedom’
  • Common Name: Prime-Ark Freedom Blackberry / Ark Freedom Blackberry
  • Fruit Color: Black when ripe
  • Fruit Size: Large
  • Fruit Flavor: Sweet; suited to fresh eating
  • Fruit Season: Spring crop generally from late April into early June in Florida; a later crop may occur when conditions allow
  • Bloom Time: Spring, with possible later flowering on new canes
  • Chill Hours: Approximately 300 for the spring crop
  • Mature Size: Upright canes; manage height and spread through pruning
  • Sunlight: Full sun
  • Soil: Well-drained soil with consistent moisture
  • USDA Zones: Choose by local climate and growing conditions; suited to trial and home growing in North Florida
  • Pollination: Self-fertile; one plant can produce berries
  • Best Pollinator Partners: None required
  • Cane Type: Thornless; fruits on second-year floricanes and can also fruit on first-year primocanes
  • Uses: Fresh eating, desserts, preserves, home berry gardens, and edible landscapes
  • Maintenance: Water regularly while establishing. Prune and train canes for airflow and easy picking. Keep healthy new canes if growing for the following spring’s crop.

North Florida Growing Note: Do not count on two full crops each year. Hot weather can interfere with flowering and fruit quality on the later primocane crop. Retaining canes for the early spring floricane crop is generally the more dependable approach here.
