Primocane fruiting blackberries may offer fruit in areas with cane winterkill; as long as roots survive, you may be able to ripen fruit on one year canes, as for red raspberries.  Anyone know if UNH or other cold areas are testing PrimeJim and PrimeJan, or other of John Clark's primocane material out of Arkansas? 
Fruit breeder John Clark is scheduled to speak at NAFEX this summer; could be a good time to ask him about short season, primocane blackberry material he's working with.
