Pequot here in Oregon does not look very good.  It's on a site with moderate 
verticillium pressure and the plants have declined very fast, in fact I 
think the only live floricanes I saw on it was the first spring after the 
plants were established."


   I am not surprised.  Pequot Black Raspberry is a cold-hardy plant.  It 
does not do well in warmer climates.  It seems to need sub-zero (Fahrenheit) 
temperatures to thrive.
