I bought a wintergreen plant (Gaultheria procumbens) at a farmers market
last weekend. The pinkish-red berries were the largest I have seen,
almost 3/4" diameter. They looked like cherries hanging on the small
bush. The guy selling them didn't know the berries were edible! Are
wintergreen berries this size unusual?
