Brown, in Newbury (sic). -- Fred W. Card. 1908. Bush Fruits - a handbook of raspberries, blackberries...Bangor - (Me. Hort. Soc. Rpt. 125. 1888) - Originated prior to 1888 on the farm of Henry W. Brown, Newburg, Maine. Plants hardy, very productive of small insipid fruits which fail to ripen properly. -- U.P. Hedrick. 1925. The Small Fruits of New York.'I grew up at what is now 1139 Ohio Street in Bangor, a small homestead farm owned by my father, Donald L. Chase for many years. The third house north of us on the same side of Ohio Street was owned and occupied by Axel Henry Gren, always referred to as Harry. Harry's mother, Jennie, daughter of William E. Brown, had grown up on that homestead. In the early 1950's, Harry gave me some blackberry plants. I don't remember if they were crowns or root cuttings but I planted them in a short row and they grew. Though they have not been tended for many years, a few still come up every year. I moved to my current homestead in Levant in 1960. In the mid or late 1960's I brought some root cuttings from my old Ohio Street home and set out a new row of them. They have been running wild in the sod for the last several years but still produce a few large juicy berries each year. In the spring of 2004 I reset a new bed of a dozen plants with root cuttings from the old plants. Each grew and survived the winter. When Harry gave me the plants in the early 50's he told me that they were called 'Bangor Blackberries' and had been planted by his grandfather Brown in 1880. He said that his grandfather had obtained the plants from a horticulturist in Newburgh, Maine who had developed a strain that was winter hardy in this area.Sometime in the mid to late 1970's, I found a 1925 edition of Fred W. Card's book 'Bush Fruits - a handbook of raspberries, blackberries, dewberries, currants, blueberries, and other small fruits' originally Copyright 1908 by the author and again in in 1917 and 1925 by The Macmillan Company. Included in the book, beginning on page 214, is a long list of the names of blackberries and dewberries known to have been introduced into cultivation in the United States. On page 216 of the list is the following: (quoted above). The reference to 'Newbury' is obviously a typographical corruption of the correct spelling 'Newburgh'. The US Census of the Inhabitants of Newburgh, Penobscot County, Maine enumerated on the Second day of June, 1880 lists Henry W Brown, age 40, farmer. His father George P. Brown is listed in the same household. The above referenced farm of Henry W. Brown was located on the north side of the current Route 9. At that time, the first farm in Newburgh just easterly of the Newburgh/Dixmont town line was owned by James F. Emery, the next farm easterly by Gideon P. Leavitt and the next farm easterly by George P. Brown. The 1880 US Census shows George P. Brown living in the household of Henry K. Brown. An August 30, 1892 deed recorded in the Penobscot County Registry of Deeds in Book 624 Page 177 transfers ownership of this 100 more or less acre farm from the heirs of George P. Brown, including Henry W. Brown, to Daniel and Rubus Brown of Boston. There is no record of Henry W. Brown owning real estate in Newburgh other than through this heirship record.' -- Writeup about Bangor Blackberry dated May 4, 2005 by Peter D. Chase of Levant, Maine - provided with the plants donated to NCGR by Heron Breen of Saint Albans, Maine.

'Chickasaw' produced the highest numerical yields in all comparison replicated trials, although yields were usually statistically similar to 'Shawnee' in most comparisons and 'Kiowa' in two of four comparisons. Fruit weight of 'Chickasaw' was greater than 'Choctaw' and 'Shawnee' in all but one comparison, and similar to that of 'Kiowa' in Fayetteville. 'Chickasaw' maintains very good fruit weight over its harvest season. 'Chickasaw' has excellent flower and fruit fertility and full drupelet set. 'Chickasaw' bloomed 1 to 3 days later than 'Choctaw' and on average 4 days before 'Shawnee' and 3 days before 'Kiowa'. First harvest date for 'Chickasaw' averaged 1O days later than 'Choctaw' and 3 days later than 'Shawnee' and 'Kiowa'. Average length of fruiting period for 'Chickasaw' was 40 days compared to 32 days for 'Choctaw', 43 days for 'Kiowa' and 38 days for 'Shawnee'. Fruit of 'Chickasaw' are long, cylindrical and slightly flattened in shape and very attractive with a glossy, black finish. Primary fruit diameter is 2.6 cm and berry length averages 4.1 cm. Average fruit weight of primary fruit in 1998 was 11.4 g, secondary 11.0 g, and tertiary, 10.7 g, reflecting a consistently large fruit size among these locations on the inflorescence, Fruits per inflorescence averaged 6 with a range of 4 to 19/inflorescence. Fruit firmness was higher for 'Chickasaw' than 'Shawnee' or 'Choctaw' but comparable to 'Kiowa'. Soluble solids concentration of 'Chickasaw' averaged 9.6% over eight years. Flavor of 'Chickasaw' was rated higher than 'Kiowa' and 'Shawnee' but lower than 'Choctaw'. 'Chickasaw' experienced more drupelet reddening than 'Shawnee' during fruit storage. Seeds of 'Chickasaw' were similar in weight to 'Shawnee' but heavier than 'Choctaw. Canes of 'Chickasaw' are thorny and have a thorn density similar to 'Shawnee' but less than that of 'Kiowa'. 'Chickasaw' was rated similar to 'Choctaw' in cane erectness, more erect than 'Kiowa' and slightly less erect than 'Shawnee'. 'Chickasaw' can be grown in a hedgerow without trellis support, with primocanes tipped at 1.1 m to control primocane length and encourage lateral branching. Vigor and health of 'Chickasaw' were rated high, similar to 'Shawnee' and higher than 'Choctaw' and 'Kiowa'. ). Ratings for winter injury for 'Chickasaw' have been comparable to 'Shawnee' and 'Kiowa' and slightly higher than 'Choctaw'. 'Chickasaw' is moderately resistant to anthracnose, and the only fruit anthracnose observed was in 1997 on early-ripening berries. No orange rust [Gymnoconia nitens (Shwein.) F. Kern and H.W. Thurston] has been observed on 'Chickasaw' in any plantings. Reaction of 'Chickasaw' to rosette/double blossom [Cercosporella rubi (Wint.) Plakidas] has not been determined. Slight evidence of infections (some leaf curling) of powdery mildew [Sphaerotheca macularis (Wallr. :Fr.)

After years of painstaking efforts, the undesirable plants have been taken out, now having a variety that comes true and exactly alike.Due to the nature of their growth and over the long period of ripening, we have named it the Tree Everbearing Blackberry. It grows in any soil or climate, has stood twenty degrees below zero without any injury. Berries are round, very large, extra sweet, yet enough acid for jams and jellies. An excellent keeper, has to be picked only once a week. Plants are very thorny, but berries grow on a long fruit stem in clusters of seven to thirty berries. Ninety percent of the fruit extends above the thorns. There being no berries on the market when they ripen, therefore its possibilities are unlimited as a commercial berry.Another feature why people prefer it: they grow up off the ground, ninety percent are free from dirt regardless of the weather. Rain must be in abundance or it must be planted where it can be watered. The undreamed of feature of this berry is that people in our towns and cities who have been deprived of fresh fruits may now grow all the berries they can use for pies, jams and jellies from six plants in their yard or small garden, taking no more care of , them than a common shrub. From a two-year-old plant we have gathered three gallons or 24 pounds. Three-year-old plants have broken all records with a yield of 6 gallons of fruit from one plant,Waller Brothers do not hesitate to recommend these plants as an excellent berry, as we have fruited some of them for the past several seasons with very satisfactory results.
