I haven't tried any of the named varieties being mentioned, but I have been sampling the wild forms of the Solanum nigrum complex (the group encompassing the varieties mentioned) wherever I live. Plants in South Texas produced sweet/tart berries, while those up in MN produce something like a floral-tomato-but-not-sweet berry.

I've been meaning to visit South Texas again, so I could collect some seeds of the tasty forms I remember from there.
