I've seen them grow in a climate with 6 months of winter a year, but as annuals, not perennials. New plants come from seeds, not old stocks.
I also remember when you collect the berries, you'll tear a hole on the skin where the little stems once were, so they have to be eaten right away, they won't keep. Otherwise, you have to cut or tear the whole clusters off with the stems on, not as easy to collect.
Somehow it reminds me of the taste of certain potato berries (yes, from normal potato plants). Not much flavor just edible. I don't think their taste even comes close to currents or gooseberries which I do grow in my garden. That said, I'm only talking about the wild ones I've seen a long time ago, there might be newer better tasting varieties.
