Hi,
Does anyone have any particularly good-fruited native: strawberries (Fragaria virginiana; F. vesca - not the European subspecies); raspberries (Rubus idaeus spp. strigosus - not the European subspecies); ligonberries (Vaccinium idaeus spp. minus); eastern prickly-pear (Opuntia humifusa var. compressa)?
As you can see, practicality is a bit foreign to me: I'd rather eat a bitter, not-true-to-text-desription Vibrunum spp. (the edible ones, i.e. - prunifolium, lentago, etc.) that I will then regret and still eat some more next time then a conventional, bland green table grape.
Steve
