Curious on taste, disease tolerance, yield, etc. I looked around online and couldn’t find anything. Thanks!

I hear that they taste good but are small

My snowbank will be in year two this season in zone 6b. Hopefully it fruits and I can let you know. Everything I have heard is that the berry is sweet (~10% sugar).

I grew it but pulled it… may do better in a better climate than mine

I think Polar Berry is more interesting.

Mine has been relegated to a pot. They grow to maybe 5ft tall and spread. When they started popping up 10ft away I knew I was going to have to do something. The taste is very sweet and subacidic. They are tart and unpleasant tasting if you pick them before they are fully ripe. Birds in my area do not bother them at all, but bugs eventually find them.
