Hey All,

I've grown the Garden Huckleberry in the past and loved them in pie as well.  The following year I tried the Sunberry, aka Wonderberry, and the berries were quite a bit smaller.  I would have to say, that overall, I liked the Garden Huckleberry better but would still like to give the Sunberry another shot.  I am also looking at growing the Schwarwenberren and the Chiquelite berries which seem to be closely related to the first two I have mentioned.  Has anyone grown all of these for comparison?

Good luck with all your harvests,
