    Blackberries grow fast!!! 'Apache' is an erect, thornless blackberry bush released by the University of Arkansas. In Arkansas it produces higher yields and larger fruit than the other thornless cultivars, 'Arapaho' and 'Navaho.' 'Apache' produces a 10.0 gram berry, which is the largest of the three thornless cultivars. Berries are conical in shape with a glossy black finish. Soluble solids average 10% and fruit firmness.
