Read the Awesome History of the Spectacular 'Sunberry' here:
http://vegetablesofinterest.typepad.com/vegetablesofinterest/2007/09/sunberry.html

The Spectacular 'Sunberry' used to be very popular in victorian times. Grows a rather large sprawling bush like a tomato and produces small semi-sweet purple berries about the size of heirloom blueberries (often mistaken for the highly poisonous black nightshade.), when sweetened with sugar and cooked down it makes a great ice cream sauce, also makes great jams and pie fillings….and if you’re like me the berries usually never make it into the house….but beware! Unripe berries are poisonous! 60-75 days from transplant.

Care: Grow these 12-24″ shrubs like a tomato plant. Plant 24-36″ apart in rows 3-4′ apart in full sun.

Can you eat these? If so what do they taste like.

Yes they are really good. Taste has a slight sour but still very sweet when ripe. I've heard that they are similar to Marion berries or even huckleberries. I've used these alongside watermelon rinds to make really tasty jams. And also alongside raspberries for sauces. If I harvest enough this year, I'm gonna attempt some wine.
