Honey berries (a misnomer, as they are fairly sour unless dead ripe, but even then...) named because they're actually a variety of honeysuckle that yields an edible fruit. Ours went in 8 years ago & are finally starting to show real growth & fruit production, even 2nd & 3rd pickings. FYI, there are larger-fruited cultivars. STRONGLY recommend woody mulch to establish their fungal connection to nutrients in our nutrient-thin sand soil (which are getting better with tons of mulch).
