My favorite tasting berry so far has been mulberry, though the past couple of years the birds & squirrels beat us to them. We let the tree get too large to be practical. I also love elderberry for their good medicine. We planted goji berries & honeyberries last year, which haven't fruited yet. Also have some raspberries, blueberries & wild blackberries. Good food!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156180100389224114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612862199192033310.post-80291765875205684832016-06-20T11:30:56.684-07:002016-06-20T11:30:56.684-07:00Smart Mama!

The wild blackberries are flowering right now, and should be ready within a month. We have wine raspberries (rubus phoenicolasius maxim) flowering, as well. As kids, my mother would pick as many as she could before all us kids could get to them (me, my sister, my brother, our cousin and all our friends)...otherwise we wouldn't get raspberry jam for winter.

They're great for nibbling on while working in the yard or playing in the pond. We only recently planted these (two years ago), so this is the first year we've had much fruit. <br />Oh shoot! You said berry, and these aren't berries. That's really how they're used, though, and the bushes are nice and low. I think the definition of berry ought to include "not needing a ladder to harvest." Under that definition, these are berries, ha!<br />Here's some information on Nankings, since they're not widely known. <br />http://tcpermaculture.blogspot.com/2012/03/permaculture-plants-nanking-cherry.htmlKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18207121540248325766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612862199192033310.post-25730402053419838662016-06-20T08:32:55.241-07:002016-06-20T08:32:55.241-07:00Ron, where exactly are you located in the world, a...Ron, where exactly are you located in the world, and what kinds of bears do you have?Marblemount Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591217272029541556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612862199192033310.post-13087021410327428222016-06-20T05:15:25.940-07:002016-06-20T05:15:25.940-07:00hmm let's see;

And that yearling is not really common as I understood it. Strawberries, raspberry and wild strawberry are in full bloom.
