Sweet-Ark™ Ponca Blackberry Plant

About the Sweet-Ark™ Ponca Blackberry Plant

A new, sweet cultivar for blackberry lovers! This recent release by the University of Arkansas, Sweet-Ark™ `Ponca` is a thornless, erect variety that is sure to impress the home gardener. The Sweet-Ark Blackberry bears some of the sweetest and most flavorful berries to come out of the program.

Blooming in April and setting fruit by June, this is an early-season variety. This summer-bearing blackberry plant is known for its high yields of fruit that maintain quality long after harvest. Picking the fruit is easy with thornless and erect canes. The firm, sub-acid berries are perfect for fresh eating, canning, and making naturally sweet jellies and jams. Sweet-Ark™ Ponca is the sweetest cultivar released to date.
