Abstract:

The new blackberry cultivar ‘Ningzhi 3’, with characteristics of early maturity and high yield, was selected from F1 hybrids of ‘Arapaho’ (♀) × ‘Hull’(). The plant is thornless and erect. The fruit ripens during early June to early July, shiny black and medium sized weighing 5.0-6.0 g. The fruit has a sweet taste, with 10%-11% soluble solids content and 0.8%-0.9% organic acid content, thus, making it suitable for fresh consumption. ‘Ningzhi 3’ has a great commercialization potential.

Key words: blackberry, ‘Ningzhi 3’, early maturing cultivar, Rubus L.
