BlackBerry Plants Prime-Ark Freedom Price Includes Four (4) Plants

I bought these in 23 and the shipping was delayed, which allowed some of the plants to dry out. Hello Organics took care of it by shipping more. They are very productive plants with large berries.

I purchased these plants in April of 2022. They arrived disease-free and vigorous, and I planted them immediately in their own semi-rasied beds near a fence line. Like any good gardener, I took some time before the purchase to learn about the cultivar and its requirements. While the plants all grew to over 5 feet in their first year, they did not flower. I was only mildly disappointed, as I knew that may happen. This spring, after being properly pruned during the winter, they are exploding with flowers which will hopefully become berries. Regardless, the plants themselves are authentic Prime Ark Freedom and they are not difficult to maintain. They grow very quickly and there are some tipping requirements to help them branch, but in general they are very disease and rust resistant and easy. They do spread via root suckers, I've found them as far as two feet away from the main stem, but those are easily trimmed. I use Miracle-gro Performance Organics General Purpose and Edibles fertilizers, with the Edibles being used during flowering fruiting. I am in USDA Climate Zone 8a, in SC. I absolutely recommend this variety and this vendor.

I ordered 8. The plants were tiny, with just 3 or 4 leaves touching the ground with no stalk. The roots and pots were barely an inch. Two plants have already died. I don’t expect the rest to survive. I have 16 blackberry bushes in my yard, so I’m not a novice. I wasted $50 on these plants. Take my advice and save your money. I emailed the company and received no response.

I purchased these plants in 2021 and have held off writing a review until I got a solid growing season in. Last year was a success and they are returning without any issues.I will say this much--the reason that I gave the seller four stars--they need to be plainer in their ad about the actual size of the plants they will be shipping out and the care they will require. At this point, I've purchased a fair number of blackberry plants online and this seller's plants were TINY by comparison. (Also, you probably ought to mention the patent).Being me and somewhat goal-oriented by nature, I was determined to keep them alive. So I babied them for their first year, keeping them under shade cloths (they showed sunburn when I didn't) and watering them carefully, and held my breath during the ice storm of (the one that shut Texas down) and to my sheer delight they flourished. I now can't tell the difference between them and the two dozen other plants I have out there. They bore lots of beautiful berries last year.To the guy who claimed he was sold Himalayan Berries by this seller. Himalayan Blackberry plants are huge and have large, stiff thorns. The ones I received from this seller do not have thorns and behave as the other Prime Arcs I have. I suspect he propagates from seeds instead of tipping, which is why his are so small.

Plants came live with lots of roots. Planted them 2 years ago . They should really take off this year now that they are established. The berries are huge and delicious !

Wow how tiny. I took a couple pics all your pics plants stacked were smaller than my hand. Really dissatisfied

I bought these in April of 2024.I wanted to see if they would survive and I'm happy to say all 4 bushes have exceeded my expectations. They are producing what I hope will be delicious berries now and in the future. They seem pretty big as well as no thorns as described. I will wait until they are fully black to try one. Will submit another review later.

My first thought was "you have got to be joking". What you receive is a tiny plant in a tiny plug tray. The plant is about 2 inches tall. They shoukd call this a plug, not a plant. Here's hoping they survive. For what they are charging, you shoukd receive a more developed plant. The tiny plants even fell out of the plug tray because they were so small.
