circle o' berries

Last year we saw this wonderful circle of berries on a garden tour.
It made so much sense to us - especially as a space-saver, but we also liked the look of it.

Our marionberry plant yields just enough to pick-and-eat (not enough for making jam).

In March, while the plant was still mostly dormant, we wrangled it into a circle.

It's starting to grow leaves. I imagine we'll have to wait a year or two before it's fuller.
We're thinking of planting another type of berry next to the marionberry. Just not sure which berry, yet. We already have two raspberry plants. Maybe a loganberry?
