We live in western colorado zone 5 to 6 and was wondering about summer floricane bearing blackberry such as Natchez or Chester being able to winter over well to produce fruit on 2nd year canes (floricanes)? We would like to have an earlier harvest to compliment our prime Ark Freedom primocane bearing fall harvest variety. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Gregg
