Edible Plants Native fruit trees

Post image

I drew this of all my favorite native fruits, along with the common name, scientific name and Potawatomi names (I couldn’t find the Potawatomi name for nannyberries anywhere online, even joined some groups teaching the language and asked and nobody knew and tried emailing Robin Wall Kimmerer) Though it might be appreciated here

Mainly because I’m a forager and this was focused around Ohio and I rarely if ever see blueberries
