New raspberry and blackberries to trial?

The USDA caneberry breeding program in Corvallis Oregon has recently released one raspberry , 'Kokanee' a red raspberry primocane fruiting type that has done well in Mexico. And 3 floricane fruiting blackberry cultivars ' Galaxy', 'Eclipse' and ORUS4370-1 (name to be determined soon).  There is also one primocane fruiting blackberry that is under trial that is looking good. They that are worth trailing in south and southeastern US. 'Eclipse' has done well in small plots at the Piedmont Research Station in Salisbury NC. Here is the information on each cultivar in a series of slides.

  1. Are there any news and information regarding dwarf blackberries? I know there isn't such demand as on "field blackberries", but its really hard to find any proper information on those "balcony blackberries".
    Thank you!
