Michele, you might also want to consider putting Everbearing in, which
according to what others have said is root hardy to zone 6, dies back
to the ground in the winter but bears fruit on the first year's
growth. Kinda a fig shrub. I tried it here in zone 4 but I could keep
the ground warm enough ...
