Abstract

A new and distinct blackberry cultivar that originated from seed produced from a cross between the thornless female blackberry plant ‘Ouachita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,762) and the thornless, male parent blackberry plant ‘ORUS 2867-4’ (unpatented)). This new blackberry cultivar can be distinguished by being fairly early ripening for a semi-erect blackberry, by its large sized, very firm berries with tough skin and a crisp texture when eaten and excellent flavor, by its high yields borne on a vigorous plant with a semi-erect type growth habit and by its completely thornless canes.

I claim: 1. A new and distinct cultivar of thornless blackberry plant, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its large sized fruit that are sweet, crisp, firm, and have a very tough skin.
