I threw this concept into my daily "Garden Forum" on the Net. The
responses have been slated towards the concept that the flesh of the fruit
is for the attraction of birds and animals which they do ingest the seeds.
It is Nature's way of spreading the seed throughout the countryside. Did
you ever look at eldeberry squirts on your aluminum siding?
Another gardener has tried using the flesh, and had nothing but trouble.
Everything turned moldy and fungus covered.
Anyways, I still like the idea. Try it.
