The 'Reuben' blackberry, a cultivar developed by the University of Arkansas, is a late-fruiting primocane variety known for its production of large, sweet black fruits on the current season's growth. Here are some key details about this particular blackberry: Fruit Characteristics: Produces large, sweet fruits weighing up to 9g each. These fruits have glossy skin and a juicy, sweet flavor, making them ideal for fresh consumption or for use in jams and pies. Growing Conditions: 'Reuben' blackberries thrive best in a sunny, sheltered location, although they can tolerate some light shade. They prefer soil that retains moisture but is well-drained. Pruning: Regular pruning is essential for blackberries. For newly planted canes, it's advised to tie in the shoots. After their first winter, cut back all the sideshoots on the main canes to encourage healthy growth and fruit production. Bird Protection: Covering the plants can prevent birds from consuming the fruits if you wish to harvest them for yourself. Fruiting Season: This variety is a late-fruiting primocane, which means it fruits on the canes grown in the current season, typically producing fruits in late summer. When cultivating 'Reuben' blackberries, providing the right conditions, regular pruning, and protecting the fruit from birds are crucial for a successful harvest of these large, sweet berries.
May be susceptible to aphids, leafhoppers, raspberry beetle, glasshouse red spider mite and raspberry leaf and bud mite
