Anton Ptak asked, "Hey northern folks - has anyone had success growing 
thimbleberries?"

   I had them for 5-6 years.  One flowered in its third year, but only one 
flower, no fruit.  No flowers thereafter.  They spread almost as bad a 
quackgrass and were as difficult to get rid of as horseradish.
