| I'm in Zone 4/5. Darrow is very hardy and very tasty but also very thorny, so much so that I stopped growing thorny blackberries. Chester winterkills somewhat here but usually enough canes survive for some crop. I'm now trying more tender blackberries whose canes I put on the ground in late fall and then cover with straw or leaves. It's a hassle but survival is usually good. I've been successful doing this with Doyle thornless and Marionberry.
