John Bunker, sounds like a worthwhile movie
The blackberries I got from you to trial all got killed to ground by mice - but one, so it will provide a good test - as we had minus 40F - and it is now showing signs of blooming.
My question for you , or anyone.....
The shoots coming up from the roots, are they true to the parent? I remember something called 'chimeras' in blackberries and had the impression root-grown offsping of some rubus are not true.
thanks, Del

&gt;
&gt;
&gt;&quot;Broken Limbs is a very accurate and moving description of what is happening
&gt;to agriculture in America.&quot; - Fred Kirschenmann, Director, Center for
&gt;Sustainable Agriculture, Iowa State University, organic farmer
&gt;
&gt;Wenatchee, Washington, the &quot;Apple Capital of the World&quot;; this pastoral
&gt;valley in the heart of the Northwest prospered for nearly a century as home
&gt;to the famed Washington apple. But the good times have vanished. Apple
&gt;orchardists by the thousands are going out of business and thousands more
&gt;await the dreaded letter from the bank, announcing the end of their
&gt;livelihoods and a uniquely American way of life.
&gt;
&gt;After his own father receives just such a letter, filmmaker Guy Evans sets
&gt;out on a journey to find out what went wrong here in this natural Garden of
&gt;Eden. Over the course of filming, Evans witnesses small farmers struggling
&gt;to compete against the Goliaths that populate today's global economy, only
&gt;to be ultimately forced off their land. The future looks grim for the Apple
&gt;Capital until Evans happens upon an entirely new breed of farmer,
&gt;practitioners of a new model called &quot;sustainable agriculture&quot;.
&gt;
&gt;Broken Limbs explores these hopeful stirrings within agriculture, outlining
&gt;ways in which any individual can play a role in saving America's farmers.
