I am trying to find any of the following for a friend of mine.
He is interested in currants of all colors (red, black, white, pink, and blue), lingonberries, goji berries (wolfberries), any gooseberry and practically any other edible berry that will grow in zone 6.
I have to trade any of the flower / plant seeds on my Have list -
or some special heritage seeds that I have recently been given from the Irish Seed Savers association, which are...
Chilli Pepper – “Elephantenrussel”
Dwarf French Bean – “Mourne Grange”
Northern Bush Pumpkin
Uchiki Kuri Squash
Osaka Purple Mustard
Viceroy Parsnip….(very rare apparently!)
Let me know if you can help me in my search!

I read through this list and am trying to think if I can help here. We have wild Salal berries and gooseberries and salmonberries growing here, but I wonder if customs will let me ship them? I guess I need to look into lingonberries because I just LOVE swedish pancakes with lingonberry butter! We are in zone 7-8 so they should be okay. I can go hunting this summer if he is interested in any of these.
Here is a link to our native berries in Oregon. We have a lot and you could never starve if lost in the forest in the summer!
