If they aren't sweet then why do people call them honeyberries? While there is quite a bit of variation in flavor (at least in the germplasm, I don't have much experience with the named material), they do sweeten considerably when allowed to hang for a bit after they have colored up.

John,
You are the first to say Honeyberries are sweet, what variety did you plant ?
What zone are you in ?
Thanks Anthony z4b
