Arapaho Thornless Blackberry Plant – Early-Ripening, Sweet & Easy to Grow! 🌿

The Arapaho Thornless Blackberry (Rubus fruticosus β€˜Arapaho’) is a high-yielding, early-season blackberry variety that produces large, sweet, and juicy berries without the hassle of thorns. With disease resistance, self-pollination, and upright growth, this variety is an excellent choice for home gardeners and commercial growers alike.

Unlike traditional blackberry bushes with sharp thorns, the Arapaho Blackberry is completely thorn-free, making it easy to harvest large, delicious berries pain-free. Its early ripening time, heat tolerance, and minimal maintenance make it a favorite for those looking to enjoy fresh blackberries straight from their backyard.

🌿 USDA Growing Zones & Chill Hours
  • Thrives in USDA Zones 6-9, making it adaptable to a variety of climates
  • Requires 400-500 chill hours, making it perfect for moderate winter regions

🌸 Pollination & Fruit Production
  • Self-Pollinating – Does not require another plant to produce fruit, but planting multiple bushes increases yield
  • Produces large, deep black berries that are firm, sweet, and flavorful
  • Known for early-season ripening, producing fruit as early as June in most regions
