These honeyberries available from US nurseries are (according to the folks up
in Saskatchewan) far inferior to their patented new varieties. I could be
suspicious of this advertising, but I'm inclined to believe stuff coming from
a university that's done taste tests.
I put a message out on my local craigslist to see if anyone wanted to share
an order from a Canadian nursery, and got two bites, so we'll be sharing the
import costs, which should make the price reasonable.
