My, having neighbors like that would make for a serious case of zone envy!
I was given a few sib. c seeds a couple years ago by a nafexer to try. They 
all sprouted, froze back to snow line last winter, and have now re-grown 
even more prodigiously than a plum or apricot. They must have an amazing 
root system, which I have thought to use for root grafting.
What temperate part of Siberia do these hale from anyway?
Any imput from zone 3 folk on these as rootstocks?,
A rare fall this year, no hard frost yet, still picking autumn bliss 
raspberries, my wife just made a raspberry torte, wonderful!  Del
