I have heard of a dangleberry, somewhat similar to your huckleberries i think. Check it out in the urban dictionary. Is that dubious enough for you? _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child.

Dangleberry is a name used in North America for several plants in the family Ericaceae, in two closely related genera: Vaccinium and Gaylussacia.
What is there to worry about??? _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want. I dug the rocks out of it with my bare hands and I made a living thing of it!”

Ugni berries are one of my favourites, and they are still on the bush at this time of year.
Josta berries are another favourite, a cross between a blackcurrant and a gooseberry, makes the best jam.
Chokeberries (Aronia) do very well here and I have read that they are very good for jams/ jellys etc. but so far I have left them for the birds.
Mahonia - Oregon grape, wonderful spring fruit, again I leave these for bird food as we always seem to have more than enough jam when they come in.
Tayberries. yum. |

I thought of wishing you all a Berry Christmas but then I was afraid another pun might upset Tagwex, so I decided I'd better not.
Oops! |
