While picking wild blackberries here in zone 3, Minnesota, I discovered a super fantastic blackberry. The primocanes are 7' high, the fruits are 2-1/2 times larger than Fort Kent's fruit, great taste and has hundreds of berries per stem. I flag-marked the plant so I can dig it up next Spring plus I saved a handful of fruit for seed to see if the traits are genetic. I'll keep you posted though it'll be a couple of years.
