They're sweet and tart, with a little bit more depth of flavor than I find in blueberries
Interesting. How does the sweetness compare to blueberries?
I've heard that some cultivars are very sweet with almost no tartness to them. I think 'Indigo Treat' and 'Aurora' varieties are two of the higher sugar/lower acid, and I personally think they're sweeter than blueberries. But you can also harvest them early and get a real blast of yummy tartness instead
Those sound yummy! I really enjoy a high-quality, sweet blueberry, so I would probably enjoy those. I won't be growing them here, but anyone reading this who has the climate for them, give them a try!
