Ouachita Thornless Blackberry – 6 Pack Of 1 Gallon Pots

---

---

Ouachita, pronounced WAH-cha-tah, is an upright and sturdy self pollinating thornless blackberry bush that never needs support to hold up the large crop of medium to large size tasty sweet berries it produces each year. Berries begin to ripen in June and produce for at least a month. Highly recommended for the Mid Atlantic, Southern states and West Coast. Its low maintenance makes it great choice for the home orchard and no thorns means no blood drawn. If you want to plant several varieties of Blackberry bushes in your yard or home orchard, Ouachita is one you want!

NOTE: All of our fruit plants are grown in containers outdoors so they are fully rooted and landscape-ready upon arrival.

Navaho Blackberry will produce the best and most berries when growing in full sun. However, where space is limited, a blackberry plant 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. 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.
