    Have any of you tasted a Honeyberry, the edible-fruited Honeysuckle,
Lonicera kamchatika?  If so, how was it?  Did you like it?  The 'book' says
that the flavor resembles that of a Blueberry; is that true?
    My reason for asking is because I'm in the process of making my plant
orders for 2005 and my wife and I are considering buying several, or more,
honeyberry trees.  As I mentioned another time, we make gourmet
jams/jellies/syrups from the fruits we grow ourselves, here in North-central
Minnesota.  We are always looking for new (delicious) flavors.
    If you have a different fruit suggestion for us to try, we'd enjoy
hearing about it.
Thanks,
