    While picking wild blackberries here in zone 3, Minnesota, I discovered 
a super fantastic blackberry.  The primocanes are 7' high, the fruits are 
2-1/2 times larger than Fort Kent's fruit, great taste and has hundreds of 
berries per stem.  I flag-marked the plant so I can dig it up next Spring 
plus I saved a handful of fruit for seed to see if the traits are genetic. 
I'll keep you posted though it'll be a couple of years.
