What is the root structure like in terms of width and depth?

Their root structure is fairly shallow & about the width of the plant
Is there any reason to be concerned about them being evasive
to buildings or cables?

not really
Besides birds, rabbits, and deer, are there any other animals
of insects about which to be concerned?

Birds will eat a lot of the fruits, but you could benefit by having lots of
seedlings. I started with 6 plants & now have approximately 80. I try to
pick a couple of days before they're fully ripe. They will ripen well just
sitting on the kitchen counter.

I know you're thinking of fermenting them so just be aware that they contain
sorbate naturally & fermentation can be difficult. If you were closer I'd
hook you up with some seedlings.
