Blackberry plants are quicker to mature than blueberries. We will have a full crop in 2009. Our new trellis will make picking much easier years.

We have two varieties of blackberries, Apache (thornless) and Chickasaw (thorned). The Chickasaw are the first to ripen, around June 1, sometimes earlier. The Apaches ripen a few weeks later. To make up for its thorns the Chickasaw produces a massive berry. Both are delicious either fresh or in cobblers or other cooked dishes. I personally like them fresh, chilled, with a little cream.

Soon this will be a juicy, ripe Chickasaw blackberry!
