Boysenberry plants at Simmons Berry Farm

and Winfrey Valley Nursery http://www.alcasoft.com/winfrey/ 

But if he's remembering California, he may have been eating
Olallieberries, see http://www.oregon-berries.com/cx1/cx1a.htm

Bamboo - I've been told copper flashing works, just bury it vertically,
but 24" wide flashing is going to be expensive these days....

Subject: [permaculture] Bamboo and Boysenberry

Hello All- I have questions about two plants:

FIRST: Boysenberry. A dear man that lives nearby has been very
thoughtful and generous in sharing many of his more unusual fruit tree
seeds and cuttings, etc. and when  I asked what I could help HIM find,
he replied boysenberry. He grew up in California, and said that though
it was hard work harvesting the fruit (his dad got  the whole family
into it) he nowmisses the plant of his younger days, so any help or
leads you can provide on finding a source for boysenberry are very much
appreciated.

SECOND: I wonder if someone has good advice on what to do when  a
rapidly spreading bamboo starts coming up under your historic house?
Some of our friends are pulling it up daily, and I don't think digging
it up so far has worked for them. They are talking about a concrete wall
between the house and the bulk of the spreaders. Any ideas? They would
love to hear them!

Many Thanks,
Michelle in VA
