How does Suwannee handle Zone 5, do you know?
My current favorite is Sparkle. Definitely not a shipping berry; but
delicious.

I did a test planting of heirloom varieties several years ago and
found Suwannee to be my favorite. I agree with Darrow: "Suwannee
was named for its very high dessert quality, which is perhaps the
best in the United States".
