Woah, Woah Blackberry
These blackberries are HUGE and the thornless bushes loaded down with ripe and unripened fruit. Sonrise Farms blackberry varieties are all thornless and include Natchez, Prime-Ark Traveler and farm favorite Ouachita.
Blackberry Picking Tip: Pick berries that are fully black, shiny and easy to remove from the plant. These will be the sweetest!
