Many cultivars are quite tart and smoky, but not all. Sweeter and milder  
selections abound. The best I’ve had for fresh eating is minaj smyriou- it’s 
large, soft and juicy, and very mild. We eat them by the fistful in my 
household.  Titania, Belaruskaya, and Kirovchanka are about middle of the rd. 
in my experience, still good fresh, but more zippy. Black down is said to be 
quite good fresh, though I don’t have that one currantly (finest dad humor 
implied)Devin SmithSouthern VT zone 5

Oops.  Forgot to promote blueberries for western KY - by all means,  plant
rabbiteye and Southern Highbush types... even though UofKY extension folks
may not recommend them, our experience is that they're 10X more productive
than the Northern Highbush types we started out with.
Apple serviceberry (A.x grandiflora) can be very good - but some years, and
some varieties, fruits will be decimated by cedar-serviceberry rust.
