Title: īNavaho` Blackberry
Authors: J.N. Moore and J.R. Clark
Abstract:
'Navaho' Blackberry was released by
the University of Arkansas Rubus breeding program in 1989 (5). When this
program was initiated in 1964, one of the
objectives was to develop erect-growing
thornless blackberry cultivars that produce self-supporting canes. 'Navaho' was
the first such release from the program,
and to our knowledge, was the first fullyerect
thornless blackberry to be developed worldwide.
The Arkansas program
has also produced several superior erectthorned
cultivars: 'Cherokee' (1974),
'Comanche' 1974, 'Cheyenne' (1976),
'Shawnee' (1985), 'Choctaw' (1988),
'Kiowa' (1996), and 'Chickasaw' (1998).
Also, two additional erect thornless cultivars have been released from this program: 'Arapaho' (1992) and 'Apache'
(1998).
