My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hardy Nelson Blackberry

11 years ago

I previously had added this message to a Blackberry 2014 update but felt it might get buried. Some of the hardy varieties mentioned in that thread are unavailable for US growers; here is one that is.

Fedco Trees offers a hardy thorny blackberry called Nelson. I planted three in Spring 2013 - they grew well, but were browsed by some deer that fall. The remaining canes and roots survived last year's brutal winter, and thrived (spread) this past growing season. I haven't got any fruit yet.

Here is a link that might be useful: Nelson blackberry
