Joan,
Treat them like determinate tomatoes. I have trellised them with a
Basket-Weave system. They put out a fair amount of fruit that you can use in
preserves and baked goods. You have to cook them with some kind of sweetener
before eating them, or at least I do. They are sour. They freeze too.

If you try to sell potted plants, maybe you could include a recipe for a pie
with the pot. I used a blueberry recipe and it worked.
