Drew there is a new variety of blackberry from south Ms. USDA/ARS called the Sweetie Pie. It is the sweetest blackberry that is on market now, released last year for tissue culture. This spring will be out in limited numbers. I have had it on my farm for 2 years now doing tests and experiments with it so I have a head start on the plants it has all the characteristics of the UA variety of Oauchita, from size amount fruit produced ripening dates etc. It is an offspring of Oauchita and several other varieties even. But the sugar content is 12%.
