{"product_id":"caddo-thornless-blackberry","title":"Caddo Blackberry","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaddo is a thornless blackberry from the University of Arkansas breeding program, announced in 2019. It ripens early. In Arkansas trials it started a couple of days ahead of Osage, and its berries ran larger than both Osage and Ouachita, sweet, and still good-looking well after picking. No thorns on the upright canes, so picking and pruning are easy on your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaddo fruits on second-year canes. In summer, tip the new canes at about 4 feet so they branch out, and once harvest is over cut out the canes that fruited and tie up the new ones. A simple T-trellis keeps loaded canes off the ground, but you don't need one. Self-fertile, and it needs only about 300 chill hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in well-drained soil. Hardy in zones 5 to 9. Caddo is a patented variety, and propagation is prohibited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow Caddo compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaddo is part of the University of Arkansas Sweet-Ark line, bred for flavor, and its winter hardiness is about the same as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ouachita-blackberry\"\u003eOuachita\u003c\/a\u003e.
