Does anyone have experience using Celtis occidentalis, sugarberry, as an
edible?  I sampled some fruit yesterday.  There was hardly any pulp around a
large seed the size of a pea.  If that is all there is to this fruit, I
wouldn't classify it as an edible.  Maybe I'm missing something.  I read
this morning that the seed is what birds go after, and also the reason it is
called sugarberry. Any thoughts?
