The utility of these guides is really starting to wane
Where are the tomatoes?
And the cucumbers
And Bananas
On some sociopath’s pizza
I'm not sure tomatoes on pizza is as weird as you might believe.
Not so much a guide, as it's just a list of berries.
i'm sorry but salmonberries and raspberries look exactly the same
Salmon berries (at least those I've seen) are usually a bright orange color. They sometimes have part or all red, but generally they're orange.
Oh, and I've never seen a huckleberry that wasn't either bright or pale red.
Edit: also, the huckleberries I've known only grow in individual berries, not clusters.
The salmon berries where I live are generally a light red almost pink tone. I've only ever once seen orange ones. They are fuzzier than raspberries though, they don't have much of a sheen to them, and are more fragile/thin skinned.
There are a few varieties of huckleberries that range from light purple to dark blue, almost black. In my neck of the woods (NW USA) you can go up into the mountains in late summer and get lighter colored huckleberries and then in the fall you can get the dark ones on the coast off the evergreen huckleberry bushes. None that I've seen grow in bunches, though the evergreens are more densely packed.
Interestingly enough, both mountain and evergreen huckleberry bushes tend to grow in places where you can find chanterelles, though not necessarily at the same time.
fair point, i've never even heard of them before so i guess the guide isn't all that accurate.
Why isn't Thimbleberry on this list?
I was disappointed Loganberries weren't represented.
Edit: but boysenberries are, so I can't get too mad...
It's a tayberry the same as a raspberry? I think I know Cape gooseberry as a ground cherry.
I disagree
People pick gooseberries when they're green? I've only eaten them when they get more black in colour
