Ouachita Thornless Blackberry is a sturdy erect variety of the deciduous shrub that produces heavy yields or medium to large fruits and does not requires staking.  The pink-white rose-like flowers give way to clusters of fruits in which ripen in summer.  Fruits best in full sun and rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils.  Ouachita is self-fruiting and has good disease resistance, but is intolerant of wet soils.
