Prime-Ark Traveler Blackberry – 10 Live Starter Plugs | Thornless Everbearing Variety | 3–6 Inches Tall | Bare Root Rubus Plants | Backyard Fruit Garden

Grow delicious homegrown berries with this set of 10 Prime-Ark Traveler Blackberry starter plants, shipped as bare root starter plugs approximately 3–6 inches tall. This thornless blackberry variety is prized for its sweet flavor, firm berries, and reliable fruit production.

Developed by the University of Arkansas, Prime-Ark Traveler is a primocane-fruiting (everbearing) blackberry, meaning it can produce fruit on new growth in the same season. The berries are medium to large, firm, and sweet with reduced acidity, making them excellent for fresh eating, baking, jams, and freezing.

These blackberry plants grow with an upright habit reaching around 4–6 feet tall, making them suitable for backyard gardens, raised beds, berry rows, and edible landscapes. While they can grow without support, using a trellis helps support heavy fruit loads and keeps plants organized.
