I haven't tried it yet but I shall have to have a taste this year!
Hm, the fruit has it own unique taste. I'm frequently eat it since nine or ten. :)
Thanks for the info! Do you know if any wildlife eats them?
Totally! And if you think they're too sour raw, they make great jam :)
Apparently the fruit are edible - I will have to give them a try when they are ripe!
