Description

The listing, Heirloom Sunberry 25+ has ended.

The Sunberry is a smallish, lanky plant with an unkempt habit. Its flowers have five very small white-colored petals arranged in a wheel-like pattern that is characteristic of the Solanum family which includes potatoes and eggplant. Sunberries are small perhaps one half or one third the size of a fat blueberry. Plants bear four-to-eight berries in informal clusters with each berry ripening on a different schedule which makes harvesting a prolonged chore.

The flavor of a Sunberry is a tricky thing to describe. Eaten raw they are neither overtly fruity nor sweet. They have a mild flavor akin to a wild currant. They are much superior to a raw Garden Huckleberry which needs sugar and cooking to render it edible.

Sow seeds indoors ¼" deep. Transplant outdoors 24" apart in rows 36" apart. Sunberries tolerate a wide variety of climates and conditions, but do not tolerate frost. Plants are self-supporting, but sprawl over a large area. Cage or trellis when space is limited.
