Golden berry is very easy to grow -- just like tomatoes, to which they are related. Main problem is that they self-seed and come up all over the place in years to come.

I've just recently accquirted some Golden Berry jam from my local

organics grocery store, and was stunned with the sweetness/tartiness

that it provided.

Considering how costly it was (approx. $3.70/500ml jar), I wanted to

find out if anybody else has had experience actually growing it in a

temperate climate. Can it survive our harsh winters  here? What are

the ideal conditions to plant seeds?

As it is not native to my local zone (7A), I don't really have that

much information at hand. The only tidbit of info. I've been able to

gather so far is that in New Zealand it is said "the housewife is

sometimes embarrassed by the quantity of berries in the garden" which

doesn't really say too much.
