Lon, I'd very much like some wonderberry seed.  I've decided to grow some to try to see the difference between wonderberry and Schwartzbeeren, the edible form of S. nigrum, that is used by the Germans from Russia.  I already know what garden huckleberries look and taste like, having grown them several years.

 

Please mail the seed to: Sam Brungardt, 739 Como Ave., Saint Paul, MN 55103-1402.  Thanks. -- Sam

Subject: [NAFEX] Wonderberry again

There was a thread on Wonderberry (Solanum burbankii) a while back. If anyone is interested, I now have ripe fruit on mine and can save seed. The plants come up early and ripen about as fast as the earliest tomatoes here. They also tolerate frost.

If you are interested, contact me offlist. I'll save seed if I know there is interest in it.
