| I stumbled across Prime-Ark Freedom Blackberry today. It's a new thornless primocane fruiting blackberry. After searching, I was unable to find any info on hardiness zone. Does anyone know the hardiness zone for Prime-Ark Freedom? Thanks. |

| Too new. Can you actually get your hands on it...I see release dates of 2015. Intended for homeowners because it is of poor shipping quality. Looks like a winner. You will be the beta tester which is not too risky in time, cost or effort. Based upon parentage I'd guess it is a fair bet it would fruit in Z4. |

| Berries Unlimited will have it in June 14. Like Osage this year, you can get a small, tissue cultured plant at that time but you won't get any berries that late in the season. I would also be careful with the zones on the Prime Ark series plants because only the primocane crop will be suitable in zones lower than 6. You may also have to cut down the canes every year to ensure that you will have enough time to get the primocane crop ripe. If you let them overwinter, it will make the primocane crop later in the year and frost may get them before you can get many berries. |
