Last year I bought a couple plants from Hill House Nurseries and the
resulting berries were lovely and tart right into December. This year I grew
more from seed and they are a different flavour altogether, a sickly sweet
taste. Are there many different types or are they dramatically altered by
weather conditions I wonder?

Serves you right. ;-)) I don't know the answer, Robert but I'll ask Ray or
Matthew. Do you mean seed you bought or seed you took from the plants you
got from us?

Oh well then.... ;;--)) See you next week? ;-)
Anyway, I did ask R&M and they said that they can vary quite a bit and yes,
you can grow on from your own fruits. How about giving that a try with the
ones you got from us if you liked them?
