: : Does anybody know of a good reference site to Identify Plants that bear fruit or berries.Or can anybody offer an opinion as to the Type of Fruit on My bushes. I have 2 bushes that I inherited with my house. They were planted in a strawberry patch that I also inherited . The bushes have long thorns and the leaves tend to grow wherever there is a thorn, they look similiar to a rounded maple leaf. the fruit is the size of Grapes, however they dont grow in a bunch. They have been green until very recently now some are begining to turn redish purple. I broke into one of the berries or fruits and they have many many seeds inside. does anyone have a guess at what this might be ?? are they edible?? any help or guidence would be appreciated . -Thanks in advance -Todd
I don't know what the berry is, but I do know that
usually you can take a cutting of the plant to your
local county extension agent and they'll help you
identify it. County extension agents are a great
resource for agricultural questions.
Yep. Gooseberries. I'll bet you live north ofthe Mason-Dixon line
