'NC 194' is a primocane-fruiting thorny erect tetraploid blackberry that resulted from selfing 'Arkansas 593.' It fruits in both spring/early summer and fall, with a prolonged fall fruiting season in North Carolina. Fruit size is small, fruit quality and firmness are average, and the plant is weak vegetatively. 'NC 194' does not appear to have potential as a fruiting cultivar on its own merits. However, it is potentially valuable as a source of genes for transferring the primocane-fruiting habit to improved tetraploid blackberry genotypes. The primocane-fruiting habit in this genetic background appears to be recessive and simply inherited in tetrasomic fashion, with degree of expression governed by modifier genes.
