I have red raspberries, wild black cap raspberries, marionberries, 
boysenberries and something else.  They were given to me and I didn't think 
they survived but they did and in the meantime I forgot what they are <g>  I 
planted two kinds of grapes but only one is fruiting.  The other type just 
keeps getting bigger and bigger.  I think I'll radically prune it back this 
spring!

I also have two types of strawberries, the regular old ones and Alpines. 
LOVE the Alpines!
