Mark, The pathologist friend who gifted me with the autumn olive wine
had access to several hundred feet of large mature AO bushes that had been
planted as screens/windbreaks in his neighborhood. I’ve not picked many in my day, but stopped at the end of one of
those rows a year or so back, and if memory serves correctly, it seemed like it
was a fairly simple process of just stripping handfuls of the fruit off into a
bucket. I’d bet I could get gallons of fruit in a very short time – might have
some leaves included, and some bugs might come along for the ride, but I’ll bet
I could get volume. The berries ‘keep’ for a long time in a Ziploc bag in the
fridge. Hey, while I’m thinking of it – did that native bamboo I sent
several years back survive for you? Lucky From:

Behalf Of Mark Lee I have one autumn olive. A few years ago, I spent an hour
and picked enough of these to make one bottle of wine. I'm wondering how people
are picking buckets of these. Very slow picking for me. |
