Jim,

This sounded very complicated, until I read an older post where you
described just what you did.  Seems that anyone taking the time and effort
should be able to produce plants with greater cold hardiness.

Good work!

Subject: [NAFEX] It works for me

    For those talking about attempting to grow items one zone colder than
recommended for any species, listen up.  That's what I do and here's how I
do it:  At least one seed out of 1,000 should produce a plant that will
thrive in one zone colder.  And, at least one seed in 100,000 should produce
a plant that will thrive in a two zones colder climate.
    I produced/invented the Pequot Black Raspberry, a zone 3 plant, from
hundreds of thousands of zone 5 black raspberry seeds.
