Prime-Ark Traveler Blackberry – 5 Live Starter Plugs | Thornless Everbearing Variety | 3–6 Inches Tall | Bare Root Rubus Plants | Backyard Fruit Garden

Start your berry garden with this set of 5 Prime-Ark Traveler Blackberry starter plants, shipped as bare root plugs approximately 3–6 inches tall. Prime-Ark Traveler is a popular blackberry variety known for its sweet flavor, firm berries, and reliable fruit production.

Developed by the University of Arkansas, this thornless blackberry is a primocane-fruiting (everbearing) variety, meaning it can produce fruit on new growth during the same season. The berries are medium to large, firm, and sweet with low acidity, making them perfect for fresh eating, baking, jams, and freezing.

Prime-Ark Traveler plants grow with an upright habit reaching about 4–6 feet tall, making them ideal for backyard gardens, raised beds, berry rows, and edible landscapes. While they can grow without support, using a trellis helps manage heavy fruit loads and keeps plants organized.
