Will any of these grow in Florida, Zones 9 or 10? There are some Honeysuckles grown here but I'm not positive of their ID.

Best of growing,

I have three different varietals from OGW. They have fruited and I found the
fruit quite tasty, although I do not think it tastes like a blueberry. They
did not fruit last year due to a horrific last frost and the droubt. If I
get another taste this spring I will give a holler.

The ones I've tasted are reminiscent of blueberries. Not quite as good as a
blueberry, but quite pleasant. We occasionally had fruit here, and I tasted
some in Russia.
They don't seem to like our climate - too hot in summer I suspect.

Dean:

Thanks for your descriptive on edible honeysuckle.

Your last comment left us hanging. What does it taste like?

Curious folks want to know.
