With regard to blackberry cold tolerance, I would like to hear more about what northern gardeners are experiencing as they attempt to grow blackberries beyond zone 6.

If Jim’s blackberries are frozen out above the snow line, is it the insulating effects of the snow rather than desiccation that is making the difference?

Any thoughts?

My master’s work was with blackberries, and I would like to hear what others have found in this regard, anecdotally or otherwise.

Does anyone else grow Fort Kent King, Illini Hardy, Cancaska, etc.??
