The order I placed in October from Pense Berry Farm arrived yesterday, so I planted it all today. The blackberries are a special variety bred by the University of Arkansas that grow fruit on the primocane, so they grow fruit the first year. The strawberries Chandler variety and are supposed to withstand southern climates. One of the plum trees is a special variety from Auburn University that is very disease resistant.

18) Santa Rosa Plum 22) AU Roadside Plum near 1,2,3) Prime-Ark Freedom Blackberries (quantity 6)
Most of the plants are too new. I do have 2 plants that are about 3 years old and produced fruit last year. I don’t know which variety they are though.

Have you tasted any of the berries you’re planting?
