Ha, I got Arapaho on sale at my local Lowe's a couple years back. I didn't think it would do that well in my location, but it was there and it was cheap! It dies back in for me in really cold winters, but has had huge crops of delicious blackberries 2 out 3 s far. Glad to know they are selling it nationwide, from Florida to Michigan, way out of place at either end!

Hi,
  I saw 'Natchez' thornless blackberry plants for sale at Lowe's yesterday in 1 gallon pots. Has anyone near my latitude (Marianna, FL) grown Natchez successully? If so, please give a report. They have 'Arapaho' also---and most reports for it say it doesn't produce well at my latitude/climate. However, 1 person near Abbeville, LA reported it did well for him. Don't know if he COULD have a mutation, though.
