All I can tell you is that Wonderberries are sweet and edible right off the plant.  They are soft and juicy so I find it easiest to pick individual "trusses" of berries, wash, and then strip them into a bowl for immediate use.  They make decent pies with the addition of thickener and lemon juice.
I can send photos offlist.

I think it was Lon who sent me the seeds a couple of years ago. I lost them in the jungle last year (or pulled them) This year I started them in a pot and transplanted the whole pot to one spot with a big stick marker! Wonderberries. Geesh! Sometimes I can't remember nothin'! What do I do with them??
