It is a seriously delicious fruit that many people are not aware of... a secret hidden by heartlanders! It has such a short season I always end up missing the shipping period. I didn't know it would freeze well....hmmm, think I'll have to have some family in Illinois hook me up! :-)<br />Good luck and dont give up in your battle against the privet and honey suckle, I know they are both formidable invasive species.
