Fruit quality attributes were studied for two consecutive years in seven blackberry cultivars grown in a Serbian climate and on acidic soil. Physical (berry weight, size and shape) and chemical characteristics (soluble solids content, acidity, total phenolic and flavonoid content and total antioxidant capacity) were evaluated. A high variability was found in the set of the evaluated blackberry cultivars and significant differences were found among them in all studied quality attributes. Year-by-year variations were observed for all quality traits, except berry length and berry shape index. A high correlation was found between total phenolic and flavonoid contents. In addition, most of the cultivars had good adaptation capability, respectable fruit quality attributes and good potential as a commercial crop for fresh and processing markets and future breeding programmes.
