News From the Farm

Hello From Owasso Tree & Berry Farm;

We now have 3 varieties of blackberry plants in one gallon containers for sale. The 3 varieties we have chosen to propagate have been the farms' favorite for the past several years:

CHICKASAW: Thorny Erect
High yielding with large cylindrical fruit. 7-10 grams in size. Firm sweet berries. Good upright growth. Disease resistant. Mid-season (approx. June 15th)

KIOWA: Thorny Erect
Kiowa produces the largest berry of all the releases from the University of Arkansas. Known to get up to 13 grams in size. Mid-late season (approx. June 15-July 1). Plants produce 4-6 weeks. High yielding cultivar with storage and handling potential. Among the best of Thorny varieties.

OUACHITA: Thornless Erect
High yielding, excellent fruit quality and flavor. Large sweet fruit. Mid-season (Approx. June 15)

Spacing for these varieties should be 3 foot in the row. Price is $7.95 each.

We substained moderate to heavy damage during the December ice storm. We have been working hard for the past 3 months to get the fields back in shape. They are looking great at this time and should start blooming around April 15th for early June picking.
Check back here for our updated BlackBerry picking news. The picking season begins usually around June 1st.
