Took a while but I got the berries from my NY friend late Friday.
My friend whom I bought a 3 pack in compensation said they where a very good berry and refused to declare me crazy for the whole endevor.
The berries where picked up Wednesday so Saturday morning when the tasting and disection began they where no longer in prime condition. It was still a tasty berry but i’m sure it lost its kick by then. The first deseeded berry litterly dissolved in our mouths. so we tasted half of a whole berry with a better texture. Kids thought there slivers of berry where great so it was defiantly a win there. Going to stratify these seeds for a few weeks while I finish off the rest of the spring prep work.
