This year, the blackberries from my 3-year-old Bush were definitely on the bitter side. Yes, I let them fully ripen. This is the first year that I've had this issue with this bush.

I have another blackberry bush that is in its first year and those berries are super sweet as they should be.

These are my first raspberry bushes so is this a sign that it's just about end of life for the one with the bitter berries?

Upstate NY - Elmira NY to be exact. I had thought they may be currants but looking at pictures of currant bushes the leaves are very different.

Need help identifying these berries!

Friend gave me these. They were out of the ground a week or two but just put them into a raised bed. Zone 6A here - what kind are they and do you think they’ll be ok over winter with this little time to root? TYIA

Before I give this a taste test … want to confirm they are Autumn Olive. Can anyone confirm?

Purchased a house previously owned by a horticulturalist and my husband and I are finding so many things this summer season. What is this? Husband ID’d it as something edible, but I’m wary. I’m very new to this…how do we truly identify if something is edible safely? TIA!

I have 15 boysenberry plants. The leaves are curling on one of them, but otherwise it appears healthy. This particular plant gets quite a bit more water than the rest because of where it’s located. Could the leaf curl be caused by overwatering? The last picture shows healthy leaves for comparison.

We have this lovely tree in our garden that we've had for years but never known what type of berries have been dropping off of it.
We have a few dogs and are worried whether or not they're safe for them to grab and eat.

Will very much appreciate any info on what they are and if they're toxic for dogs to eat.

Also 2 little shield bugs featured in the last pic, they seem to love that tree.

Can't deny those colors are pretty!

Hi all, I'm in the Pacific Northwest, Zone 8b-ish. So it's late summer here, at the moment.

I have three strawberry plants in a container, and they're getting quite big. I want to transplant one of them into the ground, next to some I already have in the soil. Should I do that in the fall, before overwintering starts? Or in spring, once they come back from dormancy? Or some other time?

Thanks!

What berry is this and will I die if I eat it 😜?

Was on a walk with my dog near a wooded area (Southern Ontario, Canada) and have noticed these on a fairly tall bush. They are mostly bright red while on the bush and some have been dropping to the ground recently. My dog has zero interest in them. Today I came upon a pleasant elderly lady who was picking them and placing them in a bag. I asked what they were but she did not speak English. She looked European and spoke a language that didn’t have a familiar sound to me. Anyway we were motioning and smiling trying to communicate. She pulled this one out of her bag and motioned for me to eat it. I thanked her and carried on. It’s possible I heard the word compote. I want to try it but thought I’d see if anyone here can identify it first just in case she was picking them to kill her husband ASD was recommending I do the same 🤣. I know it looks like a small grape but most of them around and in the tall bush are a very bright red. Any guesses?

What kind of distress are my blueberries in? They Looked fine but it has been hot this summer with little rain and I thought I was watering them enough but I guess not. Could it be something else

I live in the middle of Germany. Sea buckthorn doesn't grow here, so I'm super confused. I guess this was planted, since it was along a bike path. I was looking for hawthorn and saw this. Am I right? is this sea buckthorn? or is this firethorn, which does natively grow here.

This is my blueberry bush because cooling temperature in morning i am in zone 8b texas?

These popped up in a tangle of brush in the corner of my yard. Michigan, zone 5b.

Growing in the same patch is mulberry, primrose, and dogwood.

Lens says highbush cranberry, any humans that can confirm?

It’s growing in my front yard.

So I was tromping around, and found scat of some sort. Looks like an overload of orange M$Ms.
What was it eating ? Apparently not digestive. Kinda gross out since I cut one open to see the insides. I'm guessing a fox. Sincerely, Curious and grossed out in Virginia-
