   bilberry pits

   Hi All,   
      
   My "2 EUROPEAN BLUEBERRY BILBERRY" plants   
   finally fruited after four years.   
      
   The fruit is bitter and sour.  I spit them out.   
      
   And that is easy to do and they contain a round   
   pit the size and hardness of buckshot (a small pea).   
      
   Methinks I mistakenly planted an ornamental variety.   
   I could not find descriptions of pits with a web   
   search.   
      
   Anyway it is being removed this year.   
      
   Your thoughts as to a replacement?  Zone 6B.   
      
   Many thanks,   
   -T
