| I saw this new,still patent pending thornless,trailing Blackberry on berrygrape.org and is the only one that I could see listed as having outstanding flavor.Several are rated as excellent.I'm not sure if outstanding is better than excellent.It is probably subjective. During a small search,the only place I could find selling the plant is lassencanyonnursery.com.The roots are sold out until 2015,but there are TC plugs and canes available. I'd like to try them,but the 25 minimum are too many for me. Brady Here is a photo of the plant,scroll down when getting there |

| I need to get out to the caneberry open house next summer to see if this variety is on the puree sample table. |
|
| Larry, tell me more about the caneberry open house. |
|
| I would buy several of the Columbia Star blackberry plants. I have been searching for them too. |
|
| I came across the newsletter below published earlier this month that mentions progress on new blackberry and raspberry varieties. It also mentiones Columbia Star. It also mentions ORUS 4024-3, which is a 'Tayberry' type caneberry... might be interesting. Given my weather this winter, I may need a few replacements... :-(

| Murky, apparently not on the 2014 schedule yet, scroll down to upcoming events at http://oregonstate.edu/dept/NWREC/. Held out in the fields at the Research Station near Aurora, the year I attended they had a harvester machine and a puree sample table, dozens of raw berries and their puree, plus ice cream. That part may be subject to budgeting. But you are in on the ground floor for new varieties, growing methods, pests, etc. while there. They just held a big blackberry confab at the Canby Fairgrounds last week, but the entry fee was quite high, intended for professionals only. The summer event is open to all interested. |
