Spring is in full swing so I can start seeing some results.
Mysore raspberry, at least the one I have, died to the ground but is coming back strong. This winter low was 17 F. It took full sun like a champ and showed none of the disease and heat intolerance issues that are affecting my European raspberry plants. I'll try laying some canes down and covering them with straw the coming winter, and will probably pot up a few canes so I can move a few indoors when it gets really cold. I wanna taste these things next year...
My bababerry was actually a wineberry. Willis nursery. Awful experience with every single order I placed with them. Never again. Wineberry does fine in the heat, but it's a pain to manage, sprawls a lot, tip roots if it so much as brushes up against the ground for a few seconds, and has really mediocre berries.
Tayberry has very long, sprawling canes. The blackberry genetics made a big difference during the summer heat. Surprisingly, I had a fair bit of winter dieback. The plant should be blooming soon though, looking forward to trying it.
