Berry identification
« on: September 11, 2023, 07:51:50 AM »
This has been on here before
But I would like some input on what berry this is from
I almost certain it’s from a low hanging plant with a few berries. It’s a deep red when ripe
Or a single berry plant that can be yellow or orange.

They are seeds
But there are some berries that are whole still and they are a orange or red berry about the size of a huckleberry maybe smaller

I'm not sure if bear it those kink nik nik berry's.
Sorry I don't know how to spell it.
Also not sure if they eat snow berry's.

I would think when berry crops are low,right before winter.
They probably eat just about anything that doesn't make them sick.

Looks fairly healthy though. Could of been full of worms.

Also mountain ash berry's,I'm not sure if bears eat those too,maybe :dunno: they have an orange color to them.

Also wanna say congrats 👏

Looks like rose hips and sow berries….but super hard to tell from the picture. 

Knick Knick (spelling) are often referred to as bear berries and bears love them.  I find they are usually a later berry and are likely not ripe yet….but who knows in your neck of the woods. 

Could also be a type of wild plumb.   

What did it taste like??  That would help with identification??   :dunno:

The black ones are fly berries.

If you say size of huckleberries, Id lean towards kinnikinnic,  also known as common berries.  Definitely not snow berries or rose hips.  I have a bunch of wild rose (and snow berries) on my place and around it and they usually dont get bothered until after a heavy freeze or three and are much larger.  Even then, leaves from wild rose are usually browsed first.  Snow berries same thing, leaves first except for bears who typically eat all berries the same way, leaves and all at the same time.

Mountain ash and rose hips from what I see.   Kninnickinik  are deep red and usually lots of cutting foliage mixed in with, and just a wee bit early I think.
