I'm trying to figure out which berries to order for my low-chill, dry-air, zone 10, with alkaline soil. I live in Southern California. I'm not talking about blueberries in containers (which are wonderful), but instead other berries, like Olallieberry and Marionberry, etc.

To my low-chill compatriots, what is your opinion?
Of the following, do any of these thrive in zone 10?
Are some of these just much better tasting or lackluster?
Am I missing any obvious berries?
Will any decent-tasting raspberries grow here?

Blackberry, Olallie
Blackberry, Marion
Blackberry, Dirksen Thornless
Boysenberry, Thornless
Loganberry, Thornless
Gooseberry, Pixwell
Raspberry, Bababerry (@twice the cost of the others)

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the fruit and orchard, vines or California forum. There should be a berry forum!
