Solanum burbankii- Wonderberry
Anybody have experience with this fruit? Wonderberry Seeds are available here. My interest is piqued, and I ordered the seeds. It should be an interesting experiment. I ordered the Solanum burbankii, Solanum melanocerasum is also available Wonderberry Solanum burbankii a.k.a. Garden Huckleberry, Sunberry Sunset Zones: All zones USDA: All zonesSmall, dark purple fruit closely resembling the highly poisonous nightshade. The ripe fruits don't taste like much, but when cooked with sugar, have a pleasant berry flavor that is usually used as a flavoring for pies and desserts. |

The big three (aster, mum, anemone) fall ornmental perennials are beautifully blooming. Unfortunately, two out of three are rule breakers. What are the rules? Well, I am trying to use my precious urban plot to grow more worthy plants. To qualify as worthy, they could be:
1) Native 2) Beneficial to beneficials, or 3) Edible or otherwise useful I'm afraid that the following plants only qualify for the fourth rule-breaker rule: 4) Too pretty to take a shovel too. ======================================== Barbados Holidays Vietnam Travel |
