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.

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".
