Just make sure to pick off the greens and give them a rinse before you freeze. I know some people don't do that with apples and saskatoons and it's a pain to clean once frozen.
Dolgo crab apple or other meh apples are actually great for winter ciders and worth freezing. Saskatoons good in pies, meh in smoothies vs blueberries due to the types of seeds in them.
The Haskap at my parents place... 15 years later we still haven't been able to harvest. The birds fricken know they're delicious and get them even we put mesh on it. We just gave up. (Bought some Haskap in Kelowna... extra annoyed the birds get to enjoy them instead of us).
