Title: Message
Lon, I'd very much like
some wonderberry seed. I've decided to grow some to try to see the
difference between wonderberry and Schwartzbeeren, the edible form of S.
nigrum, that is used by the Germans from Russia. I already know what
garden huckleberries look and taste like, having grown them several
years.
Please mail the seed to:
Sam Brungardt, 739 Como Ave., Saint Paul, MN 55103-1402. Thanks. --
Sam

There was a thread on Wonderberry (Solanum burbankii) a while back. If
anyone is interested, I now have ripe fruit on mine and can save seed. The
plants come up early and ripen about as fast as the earliest tomatoes here. They
also tolerate frost.
If you are interested, contact me offlist. I'll save seed if I know there
is interest in it.
