Fedco here in Maine released nelson blackberries about 3 years ago. i have a patch of them and they survived -43f here 2 winters ago with no damage. berries are on the small side but tasty and productive. thorns are wicked though. twisted tree nursery in upstate N.Y, that was trying to breed a z4 blackberry so far hasnt released one. ive since discovered a wild blackberry here called the Canadian or smooth blackberry. its fruit is similar to nelson but not as productive but it has nice deep maroon canes with barely any thorns. i have a patch of it as well.Ra Kenworth wrote:

Did they ever get any?
They could come up north for a few days with a truck and help themselves -- I have a pile I need to weed out of my wild black raspberries and each year I resort to cutting them to the root because I don't want to kill them outright and some day plan to move them

they look like blackberries to me.Christopher Weeks wrote:I live on Blackberry Lane, right on the line between 3b and 4a. The street is named for our most notorious weed -- a thorny Rubus bramble with black drupes that form late in the summer. The wild fruit are much smaller than that blackberries one can buy in the market and much sweeter than raspberries. I don't know if they're really blackberries, but that's what they're called locally. Our raspberry batch is just starting to blossom now with no sign of bud formation on the blackberry. I also have some thimbleberry, but it's so young that it has never blossomed, so I'm not sure of its characteristics, though the leaves are much more distinct than the other two.
