In Vancouver, B. C. (like Seattle) this is a good choice for a novelty. The fresh berries are uniquely flavoured and make for an unusual treat. The fruits are not really suitable for uses other than fresh eating as they don't have the intense, acid flavour of their red cousins. They remind people of greengage plums, kiwis or peaches. A few plants amongst your main crop are recommended. I have allowed them to produce both summer and fall but will be going to a fall-only pruning. By this I hope to speed up their ripining date. It is a little later than the red Autumn Bliss so the yield is not as high as I would like. This is my only complaint though. They make a very good novelty planting. Try a few canes!
