I grew about 250 plants from seeds I got from Prairie Garden Seeds 
(http://www.prseeds.ca).  They did really well the first year with only a few 
showing frost damage from a really late and hard frost (pulled them out), but 
as the grass grew into the patch they started not looking so hot.  They had 
one lone berry the first year and nothing since then and they have died 
back/the deer ate them off a bunch of times and a whole bunch just died.  
They were supposed to get transplanted into my new berry patch (grass free 
and closer to the house/dogs) but that didn't happen this year so maybe next 
spring.  Certainly not invasive for me, but I'm not giving up on them yet!

Friend in Edmonton have them growing very well and harvest them every year as 
well as they have gone wild in one place up there from the Chinese railroad 
workers from way back then.

I got an early seedling offered from ONG and it is incredibly vigorous.  I 
let it get big, in part hoping for better fruit production.  Only got a few 
berries a year and the birds will leave them alone here for some reason.  
It's become invasive and I've dug it up several times the past three years, 
but still have bits and pieces cropping up.  Getting rid of it as this one is 
a waste of space.

I wanted to ask the size of the plants you are working with?  Small ones can 
be fussy, but once well rooted virtually indestructible here.  Very easy to 
propagate as well.  6" cuttings will root easily.

Jim,

I have some seedlings in rootrainer pots.  Were you after trees or fruit?
