They seem to like the acidic soil and the salty air here on the clifftops near Zennor! They were also ripe a full 6 weeks earlier than in the hedgerows of inland Cornwall. They went into my Mum's sloe gin of course, having waited a while in the freezer (and none the worse for that) for their inland cousins to join them!.
