I used to know the name of this! Googling turns up nothing useful. The berry is small, less than 1cm long.

Comments (4)Hi Karly, Thanks for the interest and offer. From your home page I could not tell where you live but I would be very interested if i had a greenhouse to put them, but from what I read here in zone 5 they would be a container plant that I would have to move around. If you are growing them in a similar location as me please let me know. Thanks Again and Happy Growing! Erin...See MoreShare your fall and spring fruit tree orders
Comments (38)I went a tad overboard myself this year. I only intended to replace two plums which had left holes in my 10 tree orchard lineup. But we got irrigation water awarded to us last year, and on the assumption that we'd get it again this year, I folded and decided to put in the second line of trees. Plus it'd be nice to get some highway noise reduction started, so I.. well... I went a little bit crazy and... 1 each: Emerald Beauty Plum Bavay's Green Gage Plum Blake's Pride Pear Bosc Pear Comice Pear Ashmead Kernal Apple Anna Apple Cox's Orange Pippin Apple Sunburst Cherry Montmorency Cherry 1) Western Schley Pecan 50)Pecan: Carya-illinoinensis 50)Redbud: Cercis-Canadensis 50)Tulip Tree: Liriodendron tulipifera So far, I have 24 or so in the ground, 63 potted up, and I'm flogging off the balance to any of my clients who also like to garden.

Comments (49)I have and tasted the following fruits from the list: Aronia: Productive, bit too tart to eat fresh. wonderful to add it into juice. Plant is easy to grow. Chinese Haw: Sweet ,but not too sweet. little tart and sour. The source tasted like cranberry source we use in the Christman dinner. Very popular in China, although the fruit size is a lot bigger. Street vendors string a dozens of them on a long wooden or bamboo stick and coat them with sugar to sale to the kids as snack. Goumi: sweet-tart. My has small fruit, about pea size. Can be eaten fresh. The flower is sweet, pleasant. The plants is easy to grow. Japanese Raisin Tree: Tree itself can grow very tallll. The fruit is very sweet, but not pure sweet like sugar. Its sweetness has some other taste in it. I can't descrip the undertone taste . When we talk about the sweetness of the plants, for example, Stevia's leaves is very sweet but many people do not like the undertone taste. I vote mulberry the #1 favorite minor berry. The tree is easy to grow, the fruit is abundant, and fruit is sweet and juicy. It tastes better than raspberry, backberry or, other commercially grow berries. For people who are lucky in the south, Loquat is a good choice too. The tree is about 10-15' tall, the fruit is a bit smaller in a size of pingpong ball. When it is ripe, it is sweet and juicy. I have current grow in my yard. balck, red, and white. They can be eaten fresh but not particular good taste. It is better to juice them and mix them with other sweeter fruit juice. Another minor berry I like to grow is gooseberry. Pick Poorman. The fruit is balanced sweet and tart, very flavorful. It definately can be eaten fresh....See MoreWhere are the fruit-trees originally from?
Comments (48)It is believed that, with the notable exception of cherries, the stone fruit species originated in an area that is in modern-day southern China. But apricots have been bred for thousands of years in Persia and Armenia. Before all that breeding, the original Asian apricot was very sour. In fact, they still have it in Asia, and use it to make alcohol and for pickle them as a condiment (in Japan it is called mume). Cherries originated around the area in the North, above the Black Sea extending to the Caspian Sea. Crabapples have long been native to Europe, but the modern apple resulted from crossing the crabapple with a bigger apple species from the Tien Shan mountains in the far Western part of China. There are still crabapple varieties in Europe that are good for eating. All the citrus came from Southeastern China, or in the case of Pomelo, from Malaysia (and surrounding parts of Southeast Asia). The Orange is believed to have been originally developed in China from repeated breeding of Pomelo together with Mandarin. Wild strawberries have long been native to the Northernmost part of Europe, and the Alps, but are very small. The modern day strawberry came about by crossing a bigger strawberry species native to Peru with the smaller European wild strawberry. Pineapples are native to Central America, when the Spanish explorers first came to Panama they saw pineapples growing wild. Grapes are thought to have either come from the Caucasus region (there are some lush green pockets of forest and subtropical jungle there) or from Afghanistan. Wild grapes grow wild across the region, but these are not very suitable for eating, so it is unclear where they were originally bred. Grapes were already being grown in Armenia in very ancient times. But in ancient times they did not have seedless grapes, so grapes were almost always made into wine (often with a lower alcohol content than today's wine)....See MoreEmbothrium

3 years agoStage rat. You are just going by the looks of the seeds. The native Euonymus species
have bright red seeds. E. europaeus has lighter colored seeds like yours. It would be nice to see the entire shrub.eastern wahoo seeds in ashtray. The other berries are Withania somnifera. (yawn)
