Think me gots rose hips and choke cherry mixed up.
Some of these bears are moving on to these I think.
East side anyway as the hucks dry up.

Like title says
What are these?

[7mmfan]

They're definitely not rose hips.

I always thought the rose hips was choke cherry.
Me thinking these are choke cherry.
One more pic of the berrys
A pic of the hot East side sun rising.
Notice the hucks are drying up fast.
North side slopes might still hold some.

chokecherry are usually in tighter bunches and a little darker.Looks like something is eating them.Where they near a creek or river?

Russian Olive?

Not Russian olive. I'm not used to choke cherry trees being that big the bears kill them from bending them over. Choke cherries have a single large pit thats almost as big as a normal cherry pit despite the small fruit of the choke cherry.

Yes they are choke cherries. If you eat them they have a very tart drying effect in your mouth and taste like a sour cherry

This is rose hips, usually not penetrable in large bushes, in a mature thickets.

Ive got several choke cherry trees and a butt load of wild roses which the deer seem to find irresistible.  Elk like them too.

Those are not choke cherries in the last pic. Choke cherries hang in clusters. They also have a different leaf. I have those kind of trees in my yard...sparse red berries throughout the tree. I'll see if I can post some choke cherry pics.

That is not a choke cherry the fruit of a choke cherry is in clusters sort of like a bunch of grapes and each fruit is much smaller - but it is a cherry tree.  All-be-it a wild or seedling cherry tree.  Right bark leaves and fruit.  Almost looks like a pie cherry strain.

They was in like a 25 year old cut.
Which is like thick forest now
All trees with a 16 in diameter or bigger.
No not much water around pretty dry.
Last picture was a lot smaller plant ,but same thing I think.
Not really sure.
Just around them the grass was all smashed down like something was eating on them.
But no bear poop or nothing.
Could been moose or deer or anything .
But I start to take notice when I see the grass smashed up under them berry bushes.

I did smash one berry .
One single pit ,pretty big for a little berry.
