Where are you located?
Black raspberries are a favorite crop for home and small-scale commercial
production in the northern half of Ohio zone 5, and they do tolerate some
late frosts.

I am considering a new planting of black and purple raspberries and wonder
if someone on the list has experience with them.
In particular can they do well in a zone 5 prone to late spring frosts?
How is the culture compared to red rasp. and blackberries?
Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR
