Conclusions (continued)

  • Primocane fruiting blackberries could be a niche-market crop for Kentucky growers (farmers markets) from Mid-summer until frost.
  • Mowing instead of pruning, no trellis, and potential organic production are also attractive to growers.
  • APF-45 has been released.
  • APF-40, 41, and 77 are under consideration for release by the University of Arkansas.
