I was at the local nursery where I got the red raspberries and saw some thornless blackberries called, Arapaho and got a couple of those to go with the raspberries.  The bbs look like they are very healthy and are putting out some blossoms and forming berries.  I wonder how they will do.

I myself just received Arapaho and Ouchita blackberry plants, I am anxious to see how they do and how the fruit differs from my other varieties.  Noss, let me know how yours do when they fruit.

Vito, my Angelo's Dark and Joe's Large Green have both done very well for me. Not as tall as Jason's but rooting and growing very well. It's so exciting to watch them root and grow! Thank you so much for sharing with me!

The Arapaho thornless blackberries have been getting ripe and are quite large and sweet when fully ripe.  The Dorman red raspberries are beautiful, but have NO flavor whatsoever, never mind just not having raspberry flavor.  That's a disappointment, but the bbs aren't.

I took a couple of pictures.  I was wrong, the tree is almost 16"-18" tall.  It is growing faster than several of my trees rooted in winter of 2010.  Notice the 2nd picture below - all of the green growth on the two main branches.  Very impressive grower so far. 

It has some "normal" leaves, but I keep getting leaves popping out with this very long middle finger - maybe it's mad at me ;)

There are also some which have a very short middle finger (see the leaf below the scorched one).  So far, I cannot tell the dominant leaf pattern, but I like the ones I see so far.

Hi Jason and Susan.
I am  glad the figs are doing well, I know they will get the best of care.
The unknown Morley fig is doing well too, I'ts about 12-14".
Good luck with them.
Vito
