Grow clean, productive, and flavorful blackberries with Ouachita Blackberry Plants, a thornless mid-season variety known for its large fruit, firm texture, and exceptional sweetness. This vigorous cultivar begins fruiting in midsummer, filling the gap between early and late-season harvests.

Ouachita produces uniform, glossy blackberries that are easy to pick thanks to its smooth, thornless canes. The berries are not only delicious but also store and ship well, making them perfect for home use or farmers markets. This variety performs best in USDA Zones 6–9, where it offers high yields, disease resistance, and upright, easy-to-manage canes.

Each plant is shipped as a 1-year-old bare root, dormant and ready to establish quickly for seasons of sweet, consistent harvests.
