That’s not a species I’m familiar with. Are these brambles? God bless.

from what i know about them they are in the blueberry cranberry family, and they originate in sweden used in a similar manner as cranberries

have heard about winter kill of the domestic varieties but i am growing mine in zone 7, much less likely due to die to winter cold shock

they are low growing and have increased fruit set if planted with one or more varieties
they are also creeping meaning they will spread from one spot to another

Cool! I will be interested to see how it does for you.
