[QUOTE="Tymurrey, post: 491519, member: 859"] My golden currants grew well but are very hit or miss with berries, the black currants do much better. The already mentioned aronia berries, birds don't even seem to eat them and about can't give them away but grow very well. Chokecherries and Juneberries are classics but as mentioned the birds get my juneberries before i can most of the time, same with nanking cherries. Sand cherries did really well for me this last planting and i didn't mind the taste. I also have elderberries that are growing well but haven't eaten any yet, same with my nannyberry shrubs. Hardy cranberries grew well for me but boy are they tart, not sure how much sugar i would need to make them edible but it's a lot. Birds didn't seem to eat them either. I've also had the riverbank grapes do very well, they don't taste bad either. Not a berry but i have russian almonds planted that grow very well and have nice pink/white flowers in spring. They sucker though and produce almonds that i haven't tried to eat yet because they can be bitter and contain cyanide. [/QUOTE]
