I agree Melissa.  I need more raspberry varieties like I need a hole in my 
head, but that Crimson Night sure looks good to me!  Let me know when you 
taste them and in about 10 years we should get them up here!

Yeah, the gold blush one looks especially tasty. I wonder how they actually
taste. It seems like every new berry variety has 'excellent flavor'. They
sure look good. I've had bad and very good yellow raspberries before.

White cedar (Thuja spp.) are not part of the cedar-apple rust cycle, so do 
not carry CAR to apples. Perhaps removing the two white cedar trees gave the 
apple trees better air circulation, reducing conditions favorable to CAR. 
Perhaps the years following white cedar removal just happened to years when 
little CAR infections occured.
