Summary

Thornless, upright canes and sweet summer harvests make ‘Ouachita’ a reliable backyard blackberry.

Rubus ‘Ouachita’ is an erect, thornless blackberry variety valued for its firm, flavorful fruit and manageable growth habit. In spring, clusters of white flowers attract pollinators, followed by glossy, deep purple-black berries in summer.

This variety grows in a naturally upright, shrub-like form and does not require trellising, though light support can help maintain neat growth and simplify harvesting.

‘Ouachita’ is self-pollinating, so one plant will produce fruit. For heavier yields, plant multiple shrubs 3–4 feet apart. Plants typically begin fruit production in their second growing season.

Heat tolerant and noted for resistance to Rosette Disease, this cultivar performs reliably across its hardiness range.

Care

Blackberry Plant Care

Plant in full sun for best flowering and fruit production.

Grow in moist, well-drained, loamy soil. Water regularly during establishment and during extended dry periods. Keep soil evenly moist but not saturated.

Apply slow release fertilizer in spring to encourage strong cane growth and fruiting.

Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature.

Remove old, spent canes after fruiting to encourage healthy new growth. While trellising is not required, light support can improve air circulation and ease harvesting.

Decent ball
Color: Blue Puppy, Size: Medium Size 2
Context: I have a busy, anxious Corgi. I like that it came with a pump to air it up. My dog likes the tag feature on it which made the ball easy to carry. She chewed off the tags pretty quick. She didn’t like herding this one as much. She prefers herding a basketball over this ball. The ball sits in the backyard through all the weather and elements and has held up pretty well. We’ve had it about a year and it’s still a good toy.

Easily Ripped apart within minutes
Color: Blue Puppy, Size: Medium Size 2, Color: Blue Puppy, Size: Medium Size 2
I have a new foster who’s only 35 pounds not an aggressive chewer and loves to play with my dogs rooster soccer ball toy but the ball itself is a little big for her to get her teeny little mouth around when she’s trying to carry and run with it this happened to pop up on my feed a size smaller (medium, instead of large ) and available for next day delivery, so I bought it specifically for the little dog to play with. I gave it to her to play outside while my hound is busy playing with one of her toys I went about watering the garden, when I turned around a few minutes later, I saw the ball appeared to be completely flattened. As I walked over, I saw pieces of black rubber on the ground, and then the rest of the ball had a gaping hole in it. The rooster version of the ball that I bought from another seller has been going strong for months with multiple dogs playing with it and chewing on it and ripping the side ribbons apart so either I got a defective toy or the quality of manufacturer from this seller is much lower since the durability of the ball seems to be less than an hour.

Not very durable
Color: Blue Puppy, Size: Medium Size 2
This ball is cute and my dog loves tags. However he popped this ball with one bite to carry it…. Within 10 minutes of getting it. It should have a tougher exterior

Quality and comfort
Size: 10.5-11.5 Women/9-10 Men, Color: Black
Comfortable and fit well. I got these to replace a very old pair that finally wore out! Warmth is medium (I wear puffer booties for when it's really cold). Quality on these is great!
