wineberry

Found a wineberry growing wild in my yard.
I weird looking thing that looks like a red raspberry but has a husk until ripe.
Invasive plant.Still leery about tasting it.I don't want my posts to end abruptly.

Edible it maybe, but not something I would like to see here Down Under. We have enough problems with blackberries, don't need another pest plant.

Wineberries definitely are safe to eat. I find them to be delicious when fully ripe, but they're a bit more tart than blackberries and raspberries, kind of like if you crossed blackberries or raspberries with red currants. Such a beautiful color, too. The plants pop up all along hiking trails and streams around here, keeping the invasive species volunteers busy.

blackberries are taking over my yard.
that just adds to the fun.
