The old-timers called them "bear berries". They are look alikes but the bear berries are the size of cultivated blue berries. We never made the mistake again. We didn't die but suffered, but not in silence for 24 hours.<BR/>I love all berries.

They are all equally good.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what kind of berries they are. I've never seen them before. Just be careful if you chose to taste them. <BR/><BR/>Usually the boys and I go with Mom to pick blueberries, but I don't think it's going to happen this year. Things are too chaotic here. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-60389455672319969982008-08-14T10:38:00.000-04:002008-08-14T10:38:00.000-04:00Just one comment: hmmm hmmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm.Just one comment: hmmm hmmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-15405575704999588512008-08-14T09:53:00.000-04:002008-08-14T09:53:00.000-04:00I don't think the berries are pokeberries.

The picture seems to show leaves on the same stem as the berries. Pokeweed berries grow in long clusters, much like grapes.<BR/><BR/>They look similar to service berries, but you mentioned they were growing on a bush so that's not likely NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-47431713572626773852008-08-14T09:38:00.000-04:002008-08-14T09:38:00.000-04:00My favorite berry is always the one that is in pea...My favorite berry is always the one that is in peak season locally.
