Resumo

Performance of ‘Brazos’, ‘Comanche’, and ‘Cherokee’ blackberry was studied in tropical conditions in Santiago Ixcuintla, Nayarit, Mexico. In this environment, and without the application of stimulants for budbreak, blackberry showed good development and vegetative growth. The latter occurs all year long, and plants do not show a dormancy period. ‘Brazos’ produces up to 20.7 lateral shoots per plant, while ‘Cherokee’ produces 13.8 and ‘Comanche’ 9.7. Flowering and production occur from April to September, and average yield per plant is 1.5 to 2 kg year-1 in cultivars Cherokee and Brazos, and less than one kilogram for cv. Comanche. Soluble solids content was 10.5 °Brix for ‘Comanche’, 8.5 for ‘Brazos’, and 8.7 for ‘Cherokee’.
