It sure does seem like a lot of these non-mainstream fruits turn out to be disappointing. I remember the hype of Goji berries. A lot of people planted them and I’ve never heard a single person say they liked them enough to continue growing them. Fruits like Goji, Aronia, gooseberries, Honeyberries, service berries, etc have a wonderful presence in fruit catalogs but none of them have been able to out perform raspberries, blackberries, grapes, etc in the mainstream market. I for one have limited space and if these unusual edibles don’t bring their A game I would rather have a fruit that I love like blackberries. Now if I had a huge farm and plenty of room to test these things out I’d undeniably do it. But there have been so many reports saying Goji berries suck that I’m not going to bother.
