Arapaho Thornless, erect Year Released: 1993 Patent #8510 "Unlicensed Propagation Prohibited By Law" This is the earliest ripening thornless. The sweetness is higher in this berry than most thorny varieties. We generally begin picking the ‘Arapaho’ at the very end of May. ‘Arapaho’ tends to ripen over a shorter time period than the other varieties, so you get most of the berries over a 2-3 week period. The fruit yield has been higher after cooler winters. Navaho Thornless, erect Year Released: 1989 Patent #6679 "Unlicensed Propagation Prohibited By Law" The ‘Navaho’ is our favorite berry for eating right off the bush. It has the highest sugar average of all the University of Arkansas varieties. We usually begin to pick these around the middle of June. Apache Thornless, erect Year Released: 2000 Patent #11,865 "Unlicensed Propagation Prohibited By Law" The 'Apache' is a large strong cane with large berries. The plants are very vigorous with an abundant supply of great tasting berries. Kiowa Thorny, erect Year Released: 1996 Patent #9861 "Unlicensed Propagation Prohibited By Law" The ‘Kiowa’ produces the largest berry of all the University of Arkansas varieties. These berries have been known to get up to 13 grams. We begin picking ‘Kiowa’ berries during the last week of May and the plants produce for 4-6 weeks. This is a very high yielding cultivar with storage and handling potential among the best of the thorny varieties. Choctaw Thorny, erect Year Released: 1989 Patent #6678 "Unlicensed Propagation Prohibited By Law" The ‘Choctaw’ is a medium sized berry. These berries are very juicy and taste more like “wild berries” than any of the other varieties we sell. They ripened almost two weeks earlier than the Kiowas and are a very heavy producer.

With bare root plants the importance of keeping the planting stock moist can not be over emphasized. As there are no root systems to scavenge for moisture, the planting must not be allowed to dry out until new growth is visible. The soil should not be kept soggy, but it should be visibly moist. We guarantee our stock to be viable when we ship it. If, upon your inspection, you are not satisfied with the plants we send, notify us at once and return any stock that does not meet your satisfaction. We will replace or refund your order as you desire. | ||
