Prime-Ark® Freedom Blackberry Plug Plants are the first thornless, everbearing blackberry variety bred for both high productivity and ease of care. This innovative cultivar produces fruit on both first-year (primocanes) and second-year (floricanes), delivering two abundant crops per year — one in early summer and another in late summer through fall.
The berries are large, sweet, and firm with outstanding flavor and shelf life, making them ideal for fresh eating, baking, freezing, and market sales. Its thornless canes simplify pruning and harvesting, while the plant’s hardiness and adaptability make it a top performer across USDA Zones 5–8.
