'Spartan' Blueberry x1

'Canby' Red Raspberries

'Fall Gold' Gold Raspberries

BobF,

how are those Navaho blackberries doing for you? Those are one of the types im looking into, other than Triple Crown & 'Thornfree'. Navaho dont need anything more than a 2-wire trellis do they, to keep them from falling over and touching the ground? Thats what im looking for, but i was considered about the yield, berry size & flavor. Anything you've noticed would be greatly appreciated

Triple crown has nice yields, but is semi-erect.. Not gonna be cold hardy enough for the long-term, i think. Navaho & Thornfree are supposed to be more erect, more cold hardy, withe competitive flavors. Hands on > book reading though, tis why i ask.

The Navaho just went in a few months ago. I'm expecting the first yield 2013. I chose them over TC and others for the reasons you mentioned. A local nursery here claims they don't need any support, but I'll give them a couple of wires. We'll see how primocane development goes this year.

I'm planning to tip them and prune laterals spring of '13, so they should stand well.
 
Presently three acres (2000 vines) mixed cold climate grapes, including Marquette, Frontenac, St Croix and a few other reds plus LaCrosse, St Pepin, Chardonel, Petite Amie and some other assorted white ones. This coming spring 750 Marquette and 750 LaCrescent 750 Leon Millot and 400 Concord and 400 Niagara going in.
 
Vines - Muscadines to include 2 Ison, 2 Sweet Jenny, 1 Pam, 1 Pineapple and will be soon planting 1 Magnolia

Blackberries - 3 each of Apache, Ouchita and Natchez.
 
Red wine vines:
10 Marquette
4 NY95's
2 St.Croix
1 Norton

White wine vines:
8 Valvin muscat
6 LaCrescent
6 Prairie star
4 Frontenac Gris
2 Frontenac Blanc

Wish I could just relocate to N.C. and start a real vineyard though.
