Berry-berry
It is not the norm to have wineberries and blackberries at the same time that raspberries are still ripening. (not to mention the blueberries in higher elevations). However, here we are.
Black raspberries, wineberries (the red ones) and blackberries. Wild blackberries are a bit smaller than what you’d see at a grocery; in this picture they’re hard to tell apart from the raspberries. Technically red raspberries also grow in this area - but I’ve only ever seen one bush in the wild. If they’re here at all, it must be in very specific locations.
Anyhow. YUM!

Exploring anthropogenic and natural landscape patterns associated with wineberry invasion in preserved forestland in Athens County, Ohio, USA: A report to The Athens Conservancy
New publication (sort of)! Back in 2022 I mentored an awesome student's capstone project on wineberry invasion with the goal of turning it into a report that could be used to inform conservation and land management in Athens County. We finished the report a year later and now, almost another year later, I figured out how to disperse it online. Check it out if you like tasty things!

You don’t need to add pectin when working with high citrus fruits and berries. Make sure to pasteurize your jars for 10 minutes in boiling water. I like to take out a lot of the seeds so it’s more like a jelly than a jam. The ratio of sugar is 1:1 plus some lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Boil 15-20 minutes and voila.

Musser Scout Reservation, Camp Garrison
Sunny, 25* C / 77* F
Wineberry, Rubus phoenicolasius
Rose family (Rosaceae)
Originally from the Asian continent, introduced to the United States in 1890 due to its berries. This is an invasive species -- crowding out other berries and native plants that grow in the same environment with their dense thickets. Best controlled through mechanical removal.
This photo is of a cluster of berries that has not matured yet. The berries, once mature, are edible -- and sticky.
The stems of this plant are spiny with red hair, leaves grow in threes with the middle terminal leaf the largest.

@tangerinebonfire Rather than spam @headspace-hotel 's delightful pawpaw post further, I'm making my own primate post on my favorite target of foraging.
I grew up in rural Pennsylvania nibbling wild raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and tiny blueberries on summer trips to Ontario, chewing sassafras and sipping on honeysuckle, but wineberries were queen. I probably haven't tasted wineberries in 30 years, as I moved away from the east coast in 1996. They're on my shortlist of things I miss after loved ones, lightning bugs, thunderstorms, and beech trees.
Lookit these beauties.
Unlike raspberries, they're meltingly soft. No crunchies. If you pick them unripe, they're tart, but still fairly tasty,
Unripe ones are amber-orange, ripening to lush crimson, which is the perfect blend of honey-sweet and tart/citrus, deepening to pomegranate seed red.
The NYT's Urban Forager blog describes wineberries as a "citrusy wild fruit which tastes like a cross between a raspberry and a California orange" (by which I can only assume they mean something like the 1930s Valencia orange tree in the back yard of my friends in Westminster, CA; store-bought oranges are a different animal). The Guardian's gardening columnist Alys Fowler says...
"…sherbert"
She also irresponsibly suggests planting some right after mentioning finding a forest overrun with them between Lakes Como and Maggiore, and noting her mom's own patch tended to get around. If you look them up in the US, you find a slew of articles lamenting wineberries as invasives, often while admitting ruefully that they're delicious.
Apparently they were/are planted in Japan, Korea and China as ornamentals, not just for the fruit, since the canes turn as red as the berries. Their invasiveness is the only thing keeping me from committing a deadly sin and buying seeds or plants online from unscrupulous suppliers. But I live in California now, and I mustn't.

Nearly 3.5 damn pounds of fresh berries today, and there’s always more to be collected too!
And then there’s the blackberries that’ll be ripe in a month or so!
#These are wineberries#and they’re pretty invasive where I am so there’s no need to worry about taking too many#I might make some jam or something :)#i need a talking tag#Thyme forages!#foraging

Red vitamins
Whilst rummaging in the freezer, I thought I found a bag of frozen cherries from last June. It turned out to be wineberries.
Which are very good, too. But I was hoping for cherry. I freeze fruit in the summer so I can have smoothies this time of year. It’s always a little easier to get ‘good nutrition’ in the summer when I can scarf down tomatoes from the garden or berries that I just picked. To give myself a helping hand in the winter I use up these frozen treats. “Mountain molecules,” I tell myself, “I am a part of the environment.”

Deercember Day Twelve: Sambar Deer | Brambles and Berries
The sambar (Rusa unicolor) is a large deer native to the Indian subcontinent, South China, and Southeast Asia that is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List since 2008. Populations have declined substantially due to severe hunting, local insurgency, and industrial exploitation of habitat. Analysis shows that the closest living relative of the sambar is most likely the Javan rusa of Indonesia; this is supported by reports that sambar can still interbreed to produce fertile hybrids with this species. Sambar use their height to their advantage in regards to their diet, as unlike smaller deer such as chital who share their range, sambar are browsers who often take advantage of fruiting seasons to eat the fruit which smaller species cannot access. Adult males and pregnant or lactating females possess an unusual hairless, blood-red spot located about halfway down the underside of their throats, referred to as a "sore spot". This sometimes oozes a white liquid, and is apparently glandular in nature, typically being active during the rut. More information here.
