Question:

Dangerous Berries?

0 LIKES UnLike

We found these berries that start out as a peach color, then turn red, and eventually riped to purple and about the size of a blueberry, if not, smaller.

They've grown around our house before (about 3 years ago) and I picked some, recalling eating them before (it's the same bush). They're sweet and taste ALMOST like blueberries, except maybe a little pasty and less bitter, like a peach on the inside.

I am curious as to whether or not they are toxic or not?

Description;

Round 1-2 inch long leaves that aren't apparently glossy.

Dark purple-ish berries.

Biggest berries around the size of dimes.

The tree they grow on is only around 10 feet high, max.

Sweet, no pits.

Berries grow in small groups, from 1-6 berries, and not in clumps (more spread apart).

Open at the top like blueberries.

I'm positive they aren't blueberries. I'll ask an expert if I can't get an answer here. I'm debating on whether they are buckthorn berries? It's the closest description I can find.

Thanx!

  1. Maybe its wild blueberries? Try looking for berries in google images. It will show you all different pictures, and you can decide what it is.

    You can tear off a twig with some leaves and fruit and take it to a garden center, they can tell you what it is.
