Here is a description of nagoonberries from Raintree... Because of their excellent flavor, Nagoon berries are a favorite for eating fresh, making jelly or wine. They are closely related to R. articus and considered to be a form of that species. The spineless groundcover grows to six inches tall. The plant has attractive pink flowers and produces small, very flavorful, red, raspberry like fruit ripe in August. The flowers are either male or female with boht sexes eventually present in the same plant. It is easily grown in a good well-drained loamy soil in sun or semi-shade. This plant is smaller than R. articus and has smaller fruits. These plants were collected near Juneau, Alaska. Climate Zones: 2 to 7 The same site also says the ground cover raspberries are hardy zones 3 to 7. Thanks for the information.

I have bulbs at the base of mine. Tulips and hyacinths for spring (the raspberry foliage comes out in time to hide the spent blooms) and crocomia for summer. The grassy foliage looks quite pretty poking out and they like some shade.

I may be interested in some of the raspberry canes. I'm moving some stuff around in my yard in the next few days. I'll let you know if I have room. That is - if any are left.

I have some alpine strawberries. Would you like them in exchange for raspberry canes? I could also bring marionberry cuttings. Being a blackberry cultivar, they would undoubtedly take root!
