Juneberries: How to Identify, Harvest, and Eat

[@davidholaday2817]

Great video! Very helpful! When you’re talking to the camera or an audience be calm and natural! As if you’re talking to your mom or your dad, or you know the person on the other end.

They have a juneberry flavored Red Bull now and it's really really good.

Came here after tasting this! I like it a lot! 😆

Is it possible to mistake this for something poisonous? 90% sure I have this in my backyard, but 100% sure I don’t want to die anytime soon…

i found Juneberry trees in Central Park in NYC a few weeks ago & it’s so crazy because today i went to duane reade and found a NEW summer edition redbull and it’s JUNEBERRY FLAVORED LMAO I HAD ZERO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS FRUIT UNTIL I WENT TO THE PARK LAST MONTH

[@fourseasonforaging]

Hahaha, someone at one of my workshops just told me about this!! They said the red bull flavor was pretty good lmao

Hi Maria--I now have a small cabin in the woods in northern MN--no lake just a creek and a pond and lots of wildlife. I have Service Berries--at least I am pretty certain that is what they are. Do the berries have large pits? Do the pits take up much of the interior of the berry? I was surprised to find that because no one talks about the pits. I have a nice amount of berries--enough to share with the birds and maybe even a wandering bear which has been known to happen up here. Good to know that you can crunch into the berries. Thanks for the info. I intend to make June Berry syrup. What do you think? --M

Hi Mari! Serviceberries have several small seeds. Is it maybe chokecherry? Here is an id page for reference: minnesotawildflowers.info/tree/chokecherry

[@mariwittenbreer5764]

@@fourseasonforaging You are totally correct. I did some more investigating and now I know I have 2 beautiful chokecherry trees. I am still looking for Service berries but I think with all the hungry wildlife around I will have to wait for next year. Thanks so much for your knowledge and sharing. --M

@@mariwittenbreer5764not sure how close you are to the north shore of Lake Superior but I’ve found tons of serviceberry around there on trails.

@@mariwittenbreer5764 My friend lives in western St. Louis county and she has tons of Serviceberries. They are so sweet and delicious. Be on the lookout, they're up there!

[@backyardsnackyard]

I'm growing some in my garden here in England. Love them!!!

[@annmarieboyd710]

Thank u we have one in our neighborhood I'm gonna try them

[@aprilarnold132]

Need see the whole tree or bushes

[@ArtichokeHunter]

I'm jealous if they're still in season there! Although I can't complain since I've still got a lot in the freezer.

[@fourseasonforaging]

Sadly, they’re not anymore! ☹️ It was a short season, and it takes a few weeks for me to complete the video after I shoot it

[@gabidoescosplaystuff]

I'm just studying the background trying to find these trees lol

[@fourseasonforaging]

😆 They’re along the Midtown Greenway where it crosses 28th St. There’s LOTS of fruits growing along the Greenway. Unfortunately the juneberries are over and done with, but you might be able to find something else!

[@kellijeanduncan1152]

So cool! Another fun thing to look for when going for a walk. Thank you for the awesome content.

[@fourseasonforaging]

You're welcome! :) I hope you're able to find some!
