I always soak my citrus seeds in hot water to kill mold, dry over night and
then store in zip lock bag with a little powdered captan to prevent mold.

I wonder if these varieties will ever make it to the U.S.A.?

Interesting. In the two catalogs that list "Berry Blue" and "Blue Belle",
"Berry Blue" is listed as the "tasty" one.

Any other opinions out there?

<<Some testing into the Edible Honeysuckle is being done at the University of
Saskatchewan. "Blue Bell" was probably the best tasting of the 4 "OLD"
cultivars that was tested. However, in Siberia, where they originated, I
have heard that they use these cultivars only for ornamental reasons. There
have been many new cultivars released since "Blue Bell" with immensely
higher quality fruit. The U of S imported some plants and they are testing
them now.

Here are a few interesting characteristics:
- OPEN fruit blossoms are reported to be hardy to -7C!
- The fruit ripen before strawberries. Up here, this equates to a
bloom time of 1st week in May, and ripen time in mid-june.
- Hardiness to -40C.
- Dwarf growing, to 6' high and 6' wide.
- Not self-fertile. Need to plants of different cultivars to pollinate.
- Long, cylindrical shaped fruit, Over 1" long, .25" in diameter.
- Some say, "Blueberry-like taste", but I disagree.

By Letter, and by phone. The traditional way. Note that a couple of
chairmen, such as Richard Fahey, don't have phones.
