How does Blackberry breeding work? Is it like apples and potatoes where you have no idea what the seeds will produce without actually planting some and waiting for a crop or is it more definite than that? In other words can your Zone 3 be crossed with other varieties to get the best of both without the outcome being a total guess? I think there is a market for a zone 3 blackberry, but probably an even bigger market for a zone 3 BB crossed with something like a boysenberry, or better yet a boysenberry created with your zone 3 BB as a parent. Here is a Wikipedia entry that says boysenberry is a cross of BB, Raspberry and Logan berry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boysenberry If you can get a zone 4a boysenberry lots of people will be eternally grateful.
