      I am in Washington state and trying to determine what kind of berry bush I have on my property the Korean ladies used to pick the berries all the time but they weren't able to tell me what it's called in English there's very many small berries red berries it's in a bush it does have long thorns on some of the branches and all of them and they're really bitter they don't taste good but I know that if they add sugar to it then it makes good jelly I just have no idea what it is any chance you can help me?

    Loved learning which are edible. You missed my favourite BC wildberry, Rubus spectabilis (salmonberry). I've always wondered why they have not been cultivated commercially

      I'm glad you liked it! I think Salmonberry is usually only found along the coast. If they are around where I am, I haven't found any yet, but I will keep my eyes open!

    Hi, Nice video. I noticed that that trailing blackberry looks like it's probably a hybrid, so unfortunately invasive. Native blackberry has a rounded stem with small prickles. Never thorns.

      Yes, some other commenters pointed that it was Himalayan blackberry and invasive. I had some trouble identifying it! Thank you!

    I might have tried a Black Hawthorne berry today thinking that it was a saskatoon. But it had a seed in it so I spit it out. Then again, it might have been something else too. The tree didn’t have thistles and it was in Red Deer, Alberta.

    • @OkanaganGardenerandForager
      @OkanaganGardenerandForager  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Saskatoon berries also often have seeds in them which can be pretty big. I would think if you didn't see and thorns, it probably wasn't a hawthorn, but sometimes I have a hard time spotting the thorns at first.

    Those are Himalayan blackberries. Not native to North America and very invasive. Trailing blackberries have thinner shoots, smaller thorns and berries. The berries are more tart than the invasive Himalayan or cut leave blackberries. This should be corrected ;)

    • @OkanaganGardenerandForager
      @OkanaganGardenerandForager  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had some trouble identifying them, so there's a good chance you are right. I leaned towards Trailing, but I did have uncertainty. What makes you certain?

      @@OkanaganGardenerandForager I work doing vegetation management for utilities in the Fraser Valley and the biggest trouble maker is Himalayan blackberry, Cut leaf blackberry, and knotweed. I definitely recognize the plant that rips my hands apart everyday. I also enjoy snacking on them in the summer.
      I could show you photos of the different types of blackberries because I see them daily but I’m not sure how to upload on the comments in youtube. I know UBC department of forestry makes some good videos -
