I have Leikora, whatever cultivar Bear Creek used to distribute, & seedlings grown from seed.  Frankly I can't tell the difference in fruit, based on size or sweetness or astringency.  When I was in Romania, there were great wild strains there, in literally every farmer's market, but of course, I wasn't able to bring any of the material back with me.  More than half of my planting has died back in various summers, I'm thinking either from too wet or from too dry.

& I've never had a single plant sucker (I wish) in the 20 years they've been in the ground.  There's maybe 7 or 8 that are still alive.

One Green World seems to offer the best choice and best varieties.  There are very significant differences between commercial cultivars offered by OGW and non-cultivars, so you would be much better off in the long run getting the cultivars if you desire for table.

Most of these sucker very freely and are easy to divide.  If your time frame is not urgent, you could propagate your own to fit your needs over a few years.

Does anyone know of a good source for seaberry plants?  I was planning on buying 40 or so plants from northwoods nursery, but they have already sold out, and the other nurseries I know of who sell them are too expensive.  Northwoods said they are the only nursery in the u.s. growing seaberries-- can that be true?  I'm looking for a mix of russian and german varieties.
thanks!
