Thanks so much for all the information, folks! Yep, I know it's
thorny, it suckers, the fruit's astringent. I want to try making sloe
gin from scratch, though. And I think it would make good preserves.
It was very interesting learning that it was part of the process of
breeding Prunus domestica. I had always assumed Prunus domestica
just came about naturally...
