Thanks for the feedback.  

I put this together in the spring with some of my cuttings that were growing lush green new growth.   They were more pliable that way.

In Zone 10, you can pretty much grow any varieties you want.   I would imagine.

So it sounds like you grew your cuttings together and as they grew you just braided them.  Is this how you did it?

Yes, we do have a great growing climate.  I'm thinking of growing together the three varieties that would get me fruit throughout the growing season so early, mid and late would be ideal. I would like a green, a black (or purple) and a yellow.  If you or anyone has good suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks in advance!
