I watched the video.  I was impressed by your knowledge.

These figs grow well for me:  Negronne, Kadota and Alma.  I  think any variety of Pawpaw will do well.  I have two of the Peterson's varieties of Pawpaw.  I  have three varieties of jujube and they grow well here.   If I had known that I would like jujube fruit so well. I would have got varieties that produce larger fruit than the ones I chose.  What fruit trees grow well for me other than the ones listed above:  Mulbery, Che, ...lots of berry fruit and vine fruit.  I really love the hardy kiwi.  Lately I'm growing seedless mucadines.  I could go on and on.

Unless you are growing fruits that grow well here you will probably have to be on a pet and desease spray schedule. I removed my apple trees years ago because I hate spraying.  Honey berries are barely hanging on.  They prefer cooler weather.  It has taken over 10 years of me thinking I can grow anything here to realize I can't.   Now I grow 9 varieties of figs,  3 varieties of jujube, 2 pawpaw, etc.  I did enjoying all the years of figuring it out.

Thank you for your suggestions.
I have the Arapaho blackberry you mentioned I can't tell the seeds are smaller.  I'm hopeful that somebody will some day make seedless varieties.  Mulberries are kinda like seedless blackberries.  Wonder if the weeping mulberry makes good fruit.  The non weeping varieties get so tall and the birds get them.

I would love blackberries, raspberries, etc.  The perfect berry would be blackberryish with NO SEEDS.  Is there any berrish berries with no to few seeds?

If it were commercialized and there were businesses that installed them at a reasonable price...I would buy one and have it installed.  No way do I think I could build one.

I just purchased 2 of the vines to grow on my cow panel/arbor.  I love the leaves.  Received them today, they are tiny I'm curious to see how they grow.

I have named varieties and they taste awful.  Maybe air drying might make them taste better?

I am in zone 7, east TN. I don't know what your climate is like where you are but here I am harvesting honeyberries and strawberries now and have for several weeks.
