Anyone else have experience growing blackberries despite orange rust?
Our reply:
Of 7-8 blackberry cultivars we are growing, with rust appearing each year on wild black raspberries 100 ft away, our favorite is blackberry Triple Crown.
Never seen rust on it (yet).
See this reference that compares several of the more recent blackberry cultivars on trial in Kentucky. Note also that some of these authors are speaking at the NAFEX meeting later this month, and that we will visit some of these sites.
