Prim-Ark Freedom（又称APF-153T）是世界上第一个商业化发布的无刺初果期黑莓。这是继2004年发布Prime-Jan和Prime-Jim以及2009年发布Prime-Ark 45之后，阿肯色大学Prime-Ark品牌初果黑莓栽培品种系列中的第四个。之前发布的所有初榨果实栽培品种都是带刺的。
这种类型的黑莓在当季藤条(primocanes)和第二季藤条(floricanes)上结果，有可能提供两个种植季节，除了夏末到秋季的生产，还有传统的夏季水果。除了有无刺藤条外，该品种还能生产出非常大的浆果，味道很好，在花冠上非常早熟。
Prime-Ark Freedom的果实没有表现出特殊的采后贮藏潜力，但不建议用于运输市场，因为浆果的坚固程度很低。
报春花的平均长度约为2-2.5米。报春花的生命力很弱，没有刺，非常直立。樱花自由的浆果很大，浆果的平均重量约为9-12克，颜色是有光泽的黑色。
每株植物产生的浆果群，像一串葡萄。第一批产量在六月初开始形成，持续三到四个星期。在这第一个收获季节，"自由报 "密集地生产花果，很快就开始开花。花冠是无刺的。这是第二个收获季节，一直持续到10月中旬。
在第二个收获季节结束后，"Prime-Ark Freedom "需要在冬季避开寒风和其他不利条件，因为这个黑莓品种宣布的耐寒性适中，约为零下13...17摄氏度，但许多种植者指出，使用覆盖物时，真正的耐寒性约为零下18...20。
植物喜欢阳光，但据观察，在高气温下（超过31...33摄氏度）授粉会减少。

Ponca Prime Ark Freedom Thornless Blackberry April 2023 Update

An update to my previous review. The plant has produced two replacement canes that look very strong, so I was wrong when I said the bush was dead. I will wait for the harvest
评论 从 [ADAFRUIT]
I am disappointed. The plant died in the first winter, cracked shoots at the base. The lowest winter temperature was -12, held for three days, the other days were warm, but windy and rainy. Other berries are doing fine. Look at the pictures (made in March):

My plants are starting their third year. While they started very small, they have definitely reached their max height and are still spreading. I have two plants. The one with 100% direct son is doing slightly better than the plan partially shaded by a privacy fence. The fruit is sweet and plentiful. I would buy these again!

If you live in a northern state, similar to NW PA, your second crop of berries will freeze before they ripen. My plants are super healthy and are still green with all their leaves in mid January. I expect a good crop this Summer. A better choice for northern gardeners might be the new Ponco variety
We got these plants last spring, by fall they were producing and growing like weeds! We were very happy with these blackberries. Very flavorful! Easy to grow!

i bought my blackberry plants from gurneys over 10 years ago - they have spread and i get huge yields of big, ripe berries, year after year. i love the cover they make too - it's used by rabbits and groundhogs. you will need to be patient with them - the first few years you won't see lots of berries - just be sure to keep pruning the canes back a foot or so to keep them from turning into vines. and if you don't want them to spread, don't let cane ends constantly touch the ground -or they will spread. i let mine spread as i wanted lots of cover and berries. good luck!

This was from a March 2021 update of my Prime Ark Freedom Blackberry patch in the urban food forest.
I found a local big box nursery that had pallets of the Prime Ark Freedom variety and was able to pick through some of the better ones.
I only bought two one gallon containers but was able to pull out 5 individual plants, so a solid buy 2 get 3 free!
I have been experimenting with container Hugelkultur methods for a few years now and applying the system in a half wine barrel seems to work out well for berries. This particular garden is located in San Diego, Ca. zone 10B.
The first video from last year's production can be seen here.
I may be randomly posting more updates from this past summer from video that I recorded but did not post.

This is what my Prime Ark Freedom blackberries look like in the middle of June in zone 7A. I do fertilize them regularly with fox farm and trellis them. I took the time to put them in really good soil and apply mulch on top. They are irrigated off a drip system.

This is one of the few primocane blackberry varieties. Bred by the University of Arkansas, it produces fruit two times a year. On new canes and old. The berries are massive in size and very sweet.

This is an update of my second year blackberries planted from small plants purchased online last year. These plants produce incredibly large, delicious berries on both the prima cane and flora cane. This particular plants are producing from the prima cane that came up this spring here in San Diego, zone 10-B. I am absolutely impressed with the size, production, quality and most important, taste! These have a long picking window and can remain on the plant for extra sweetness. Please visit my permaculture channel at Primal Vida Permaculture for other similar garden content.

My plants have been producing since march and no signs of stopping. Even with continuous rose beetle damage, most of the fruit is quite large and very delicious! I like that they’re large enough that you can actually savor the flavor of a particularly nice berry. I don’t really know if I’m getting primocanes or floricanes sometimes, but it seems any kind of growth with eventually end up with blooms.
Heavy pruning on these seems to force a lot of new blooms/fruit. They actually act a lot like the mulberries in my climate. One thing I’ve learned is that they don’t need support if properly pruned and they can bear fruit as low as you’d like. Once a primocane has finished fruiting, I clip it back to a healthy-looking node. At that time, some of the floricanes will have probably started growing already.
I have very wet and humid weather most of the year. Anthracnose can be a problem in these conditions. My Natchez has been affected many times, and for whatever reason, it has never fruited. I’ve seen it occasionally on my PAF, but so far it seems quite resilient.
I’m no expert, but I believe this variety is a gem. Prime Ark Traveler is very similar, but not quite as prolific. I’m starting a ton of new cuttings to plant a large patch of these for our local market.

First off 1/2 the plants were dug up and moved further apart. So this test bed is now 12 plants.(5ft apart)
2nd the weather is insane. 2016 It rained 3 days non stop during flowering so this reduced the yield.
We had a huge drought at the end of 2016 so that will affect the 2017 yield as many floricanes died.
2016 was the first floricane crop and was 46lb of good quality fruit from 12 plants.
Humans and birds feeding on early ripening fruit was probably another 2lb.
So yield was 4lb per plant.
Observations:
This is a really low chill hour blackberry, my guess is its under 100 chill hours.
So for tropical areas that could never grow blackberries they can grow this variety.
The fruit is large but has large seeds so for processing a lot of the weight is seeds.
Specific to our climate the primacane flowering is just a disease and insect vector and not a benefit.
We are a no spray operation so we are trying to crop the floricanes for early fruit thus missing insect damage.
How many lbs of lower yields is worth having no thorns?
If you are the one working in the crop NO thorns is very very nice.
These are starting to flower now so we may see fruit at the end of April 2017.
Thank you all for your interest, input and feedback on this blackberry variety.
Thanks also to the hard work of Dr. John Clark and University of Arkansas for some interesting fruit varieties.

I’m in zone 8 and I put in PAF two years ago. I grow them in partial shade because we are so hot. I’m a blackberry novice but these have been fantastic. They have not gone dormant here. I am beginning to pick berries and the primocanes are already pushing up above the floricanes crop. The are very vigorous plants. The berries are large and sweet when fully ripe. Good blackberry flavor.
The primocanes started ripening in July last year and continued until November but I didn’t have many at a time. Enough to munch on. The production on the floricanes has at least tripled this year. Two years ago this May these were two inch root cuttings…
The first pic is of a primocane that slipped up on me and I tipped it last weekend and it’s already sending out laterals…well, straight up laterals. They get top heavy very quick.
