I've been growing that variety for a few years and love the fruit!
I LOVE your videos! Thank you Ross! ❤️❤️❤️
It’s my understanding that on a primocane variety, your 2nd year growth (aka floricanes) would fruit early and the primocanes fruit late. Don’t mow this years growth and you should get earlier fruit next year
Absolutely gorgeous thank you!
Appreciate the info 👍 about to grow some so this helps greatly
With Prime Ark Freedoms, you will get your flora cane crop in the spring, and the primocane crop in the fall. In Pennsylvania, it might freeze before the fall crop is ready -- killing the crop. Here in Texas, occasionally we'll have a late freeze that will kill the spring crop. The Freedoms are great berries, but unfortunately they're not indestructible.
thanks for the video!
woo boy! got 8 planted in the back yard. im excited!
Would be curious to hear more about the flavor differences between PA-45 and PA Freedom? Just picked up 45 myself, wondered if it would be worth getting a Freedom as well. My concern with the larger berries is that they may also have a harder center? Any info divulged would be appreciated, thanks Ross!
Do you need a companion pollinator for your Freedom blackberry?
Do these send out runners?
I have been growing black berries for over 20 years. Every since I started growing prime ark freedoms they have been my overall favorite.
From the vigorous growth to the large sweet black berries they can be beat.
is there any way to buy some of you or some websites? Thanks
What is 'swd' that you mentioned as a reason to get rid of tripple crown ?
Spotted wing drosphilia (fruit fly)
Large fruit, does this mean the seeds are huge? I'm trying to find large fruit blackberries with small seeds. Does it exist?
Wish the UK had a supplier for these
I live in Glenside outside of Philly and was wondering if you have any plants that I could purchase of if I could buy some cuttings from you to propagate. I just started a blackberry patch late year and would love to add these berries. Thank you, Justin
That's illegal. Don't ask for things that would put Ross in jail plz, we need his fig knowledge to keep flowing!
Thanks for the video. I prefer a berry that is more on the sweet side rather than tart, how does the Pimark Freedom stack up against Triple Crown purely on the basis of this?
Let them ripen longer and they'll lose a lot of the tartness. I can't remember if one is more tart than the other.
Отлично!
What is s w d?
Are they easy to grow because I suck at growing plants, but I have managed to grow blackberries in the past. So I'm looking for a thornless variety and this looks awesome
It would depend on where you're located, but check out "TexasPrepper2". He puts out a lot of videos about blackberries and probably knows as much as anyone about growing blackberries in Texas. I was advised by the University of Oregon's agriculture department not to grow raspberries in Texas because the summers are just too how and they don't do well here.
How do you grow them fruits that big? Any tips? Thanks
Nothing. It's their genetics.
Cant seem to find the answer to this anywhere, would appreciate if you could answer. Do these spread via suckers?
PA Freedom is called an erect thornless variety so it is not suppose to have suckers that spread endlessly. Any erect variety (and there a quite a few now) should not set out suckers.
I want "PONCA"
Do you need chill hours for prime ark? Can you grow that in a tropical countries?
Great question.
Grows well in zone 8B(Northern Gulf Coast.) They're zoned to 9.
At least it’s only the first year that you have to wait. Then you have floricanes every year. On the triple crowns that is
I am interested in this variety to grow here in Kenya how can I get it
Mark Korir you’d probably have to order seeds and a dormant plant. It’s a cultivar from the US, and probably the US you’ll have to order it from
SWD?
What is swd ? Is it a disease ?
Fruit fly.
The baton sticks get shorter, Rudy grows taller.
I'm not sure why people think we want to hear lip smacking and eating noises in their videos. I love the info, but come ON.
SWD?
