Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of blackberry named ‘PBB 1616T’ is characterized by early season production of consistently shaped, elongated fruit borne on erect spineless primocanes. This new cultivar is identified, among other things, by its precocity, less intensive cane management needs, firmness, and low color reversion during postharvest performance. Root and subsequent spawn development is moderate in the first year of production.
