I am in Washington state and trying to determine what kind of berry bush I have on my property the Korean ladies used to pick the berries all the time but they weren't able to tell me what it's called in English there's very many small berries red berries it's in a bush it does have long thorns on some of the branches and all of them and they're really bitter they don't taste good but I know that if they add sugar to it then it makes good jelly I just have no idea what it is any chance you can help me?
Loved learning which are edible. You missed my favourite BC wildberry, Rubus spectabilis (salmonberry). I've always wondered why they have not been cultivated commercially
I'm glad you liked it! I think Salmonberry is usually only found along the coast. If they are around where I am, I haven't found any yet, but I will keep my eyes open!
@@OkanaganGardenerandForager yes indeed it is ❤️ My family and I visited Okanagan and we loved it out there too😍 You're invited to subscribe to my channel, that would be my pleasure to share some videos ❤️
Hi, Nice video. I noticed that that trailing blackberry looks like it's probably a hybrid, so unfortunately invasive. Native blackberry has a rounded stem with small prickles. Never thorns.
I might have tried a Black Hawthorne berry today thinking that it was a saskatoon. But it had a seed in it so I spit it out. Then again, it might have been something else too. The tree didn’t have thistles and it was in Red Deer, Alberta.
Saskatoon berries also often have seeds in them which can be pretty big. I would think if you didn't see and thorns, it probably wasn't a hawthorn, but sometimes I have a hard time spotting the thorns at first.
@@blackjesus7804, great idea I think! Blueberries of course grow food, but I think they also look nice before and after fruiting. I'm a big fan of growing as much food as possible!
Those are Himalayan blackberries. Not native to North America and very invasive. Trailing blackberries have thinner shoots, smaller thorns and berries. The berries are more tart than the invasive Himalayan or cut leave blackberries. This should be corrected ;)
I had some trouble identifying them, so there's a good chance you are right. I leaned towards Trailing, but I did have uncertainty. What makes you certain? Thank you so much for watching and commenting, by the way! I appreciate the opportunity to learn more!
@@OkanaganGardenerandForager I work doing vegetation management for utilities in the Fraser Valley and the biggest trouble maker is Himalayan blackberry, Cut leaf blackberry, and knotweed. I definitely recognize the plant that rips my hands apart everyday. I also enjoy snacking on them in the summer. I could show you photos of the different types of blackberries because I see them daily but I’m not sure how to upload on the comments in youtube. I know UBC department of forestry makes some good videos - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qf1zhKIITms.html Maybe this video will offer some clarity
@@eriskullxxx That is super helpful! Thank you! I think you are already helping to correct the video by commenting here. I think I'll put some notes in the description and see if I can put something else in the video to show this information! I really appreciate the help!
Thanks for the help! I added some comments in the description and also put a link in the video at the blackberry part. I hope that helps to clarify things! I definitely appreciate you guys adding your wisdom to the video!
Dude! Hawthorne berries need a pinch of frost ~ and then mmmmmmmmm! (Like rosehips) If you blend it, the pectin content cause the paste to hell almost instantly .... Making a fabulous finger liking time!
Yes, thank you. I added a link to a video showing the correct one and wrote about it in the description. Unfortunately I can't go back and change the video.
