My home in western Washington state has viney bushes growing in the back yard with blueberry-like berries on them. The leaves on the vines are large and broad (about 2" by 3" on average) and when I open the berries, they have a thin, purple flesh on the outer layer, but are filled mostly with seeds. The berries also have tiny, spinney looking hairs on the surface. Does anyone know what these plants are? Are they in the blueberry family? Are they safe to eat?
