  1. It's the start of #wildberries season on the island 😀 I found a large #IndianPlum bush/tree, filled with #berries. They look like tiny plums, hence their name. You can collect some wild seeds, at end of Summer, to grow in your gardens.

    Once established, craftspeople can use their #wood to make self bows & straight shoots made into fine arrows. Wood can also be made into spoons/forks, knitting needles/crochet hooks & combs.

    PNW #Indigenous #FirstNations used their bark, twigs & fruits for #food & #medicine sources. Sunnier locations provided larger, sweeter tasting berries.

  6. First #IndianPlums spotted.
    The #berries eaten in small quantities - fresh, cooked or dried. Some #BritishColumbia #FirstNations made a purgative tonic out of the bark. Their crushed leaves smell like cucumbers.

    Good soil-binding qualities on moist sites. Possible #BioEngineering species (Washington State Department of Ecology, 1993).

  10. Male osoberry (Oemleria cerasiformis) growing in Ravenna Park, Seattle, Washington, USA, taken in March, 2023. Osoberry plants are either male or female. They are among the first to bloom in spring, giving early pollinators a food source. Their berries are small plum-like fruits that ripen in late summer, and are edible, if you like thin-fleshed fruit with big seeds. But they are pretty, hanging in racemes with fruits varying in color from yellow to purple.
