Wineberries grow wild at my kid's summer camp in Cold Spring, NY. The kids pick them during the summer, which is a real treat. They have a small farm at the camp, too, with chickens, berries, veggies, mint, some goats, snakes, sugar gliders, and other fun furry friends.
They Gray Mare is a _glacial erratic_ , a largish stone carried from one location to another by a flowing glacier over vast periods of time, and then left when the glacier melts.
My mother-in-law has a few wineberry bushes in her backyard, along with a few raspberry and blackberry bushes. Collecting them and making preserves, pies and tarts in one of my favorite things ever. Thanks for another great video, Jared. I hope everyone is well and having a great day!
We have vast amounts of wildberries growing throughout the patches of woods around where I live in NJ, enough that I can easily gather several pints on a mile's walk around my home in the summer. I've started making wineberry jam every summer, along with smaller amounts of blackberries as we have those in the area as well.
Love Rubus phoenicolasius ! I've been growing it for decades. Great to have the really dark red and ripe ones with my breakfast muesli in the mornings. They are useful as they fruit just before the native Rubus fruticosus begin here.
I always called these raspberries growing up, and I had no idea they were actually neither raspberries nor native. They grow all over Westchester and they're a delicious treat to find on a hike!
I always loved foraging wine berries when I was out camping during my Boy Scouts era - the darker/deeper red they are the better obviously. The vines also seem to prefer partial shade to full sun, or at least the partial shade was where we found the really good berries (thimble-sized blood red berries that were delicious).
That looks very like the Bluestones found scattered around England. The mediæval inhabitants seem to have invested them with a lot of significance, as boundary markers and meeting places for ceremonies, markets, courts and so on. They gave their name to various roads, pubs and places, such as Bluestone Heath. Dr Caitlin R. Green has an excellent blog entry about the ones found in Lincolnshire. There seem to be simlar traditions in Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Flanders (northern Belgium) and parts of Germany.
I have what I think are wild raspberries that are very similar to these, that grow in my yard in central NJ. They're smaller, though, so I don't think they're the same. They taste very tart and not sweet. I don't like them much on their own, so I like to stuff an individual chocolate chip into the hole on the top of each berry as I eat it. The holes are just the right size for a chocolate chip to fit into it. Jared if you get any berries for a video, that you don't like, you should try that. But don't use semisweet. Use milk chocolate or white chocolate chips.
I've found wild black raspberries on the side of a road and around my college campus in IL and thats what I thought these were, but the stems of wild black raspberries are light green and the thorns are bigger and meaner. I made a jam out of em last July when they were ripen and brought some with to my bf.
@@ezraf.7759 If you ever find more wild raspberries and you don't feel like making jam again, you should try the chocolate chip thing. Store bought berries are to big and sweet to do it with, but the little wild ones are just the right tart flavor and size.
@@Melissa0774 I've heard of people sticking blueberries in regular rasberries but chocolate chips never occurred to me. I'll try it out when I find em again.
Oftentimes wineberries actually have smaller and more plump "globules" than actual native raspberries, so you're likely eating wineberries. "Wild raspberries" is a very common misnomer for these things, as they are far more common in the eastern US than raspberries.
Yup those are wineberries! Your description is spot-on. I’ve got acres of them in the woods behind my house. Tasty fresh out of hand, in jams, or added to berlinerweiss ;)
Wikipedia says that wineberry is considered a noxious weed in Connecticut and New York and possession and sale of plants is prohibited by law. The plants don’t seem to care.
wow I didn't realize you hadn't tried wine berries yet: I used to have them all the time as a kid and figured you would have reviewed them ages ago Orchard beach is pretty cool too: has some glacial erratics that are supposedly over 1 billion years old and some green minerals I still haven;t identified
Red currant in Swedish is vinbär (wine berry) it's funny, ive never seen the one your eating now, grows and looks like a blackberry, withe the thorns of a raspberry. Shit gets more weird as you dive deeper
@benm5407 that's interesting, the blackberry here in sweden is super easy to establish and clone just by bending a branch and cover with soil, the next year you just cut and separate. Guess I have to do some reading on what you can graft on blackberry:)
Oh the birds love those! That's why they look like half the berry is missing on most of them. I have wild raspberries and blackberries on my property and if I don't get to them first they end up looking like that lol.
I remember these from growing up on the east coast picking them in the woods during summer camp. The woolliness was intimidating, but at the same time makes them feel wilder.
My parents had a massive hedge of wine berries growing up! The ones right in the sun are sweeter, and yeah, those looked a little underripe. They vary a good bit, but when you get good ones, they're like candy! Still go to pick em every summer!
I know a place where they grow wild because the garden where they were planted is now wilderness. So good memories of summer driving to this place in evening 😊
We purchased one of these plants by accident (it was labeled a "fall golden" Raspberry) but we've been pretty pleased with the fruit. The first couple you picked definitely looked a little under-ripe. They're also tacky to the touch; they're very effective at catching dandelion seeds floating through the air!
I have encountered a thicket of Wineberry canes near Eureka Springs Arkansas, USA, and I have never seen them anywhere else. I did find a Wineberry plant for sale at a local Walmart store last spring, but neither of the ones I bought survived after planting. The plant itself looks quite formidable, being covered in spiny-looking hairs, but the fruit is a deliciously sweet red raspberry.
I always enjoy picking these in the summer :) I grew up in Putnam and northern Westchester county, NY and they're everywhere on the roadsides. Way better than real raspberries imo
My Dad had wineberries at the house he grew up in, in Bayside, NY. He brought cuttings to his farm (my childhood home), and I brought cuttings to my home where I live as an adult. The wineberries are so interesting, because they have sort of fuzzy red spikes (much softer and much, much more numerous than thorns) all over the canes. The berries are actually covered over and protected until just before they ripen by the "leaves" at the base of each berry. (someone please correct me on this term, maybe it's technically "calyx"?). The berries are tasty, and a highly anticipated treat in mid-to-late summer.
Love wineberries, I have these all over around my home in NJ. I also have wild blackberries and black raspberries, but the wineberries are by far the most plentiful
Kind of funny (which confused me at first as well) when you said they tasted kind of like redcurrant, because directly translated we call redcurrant "red wineberries" (röda vinbär) here in Sweden. It's obviously something in the taste of it that makes one think of wine rather than grapes.
I am absolutely amazed this is the first time you’ve had them. I grew up in Maryland and have picked them my whole life. Unfortunately they do tend to take up alot of the environmental space that normal native brambles grow. So they very invasive but atleast they are delicious.. again I’m amazed you’ve never had them
i think that rock is a glacier stone. Ra Castaldo knows a lot about native rocks like this they have good vibes i heard he may have mentioned this one in a podcast thanks for sharing
Yep, that was most definitely a scrawny, little, underripe wineberry! The largest of them can be nearly twice the size of what you harvested, and those are most definitely sweet. But, they maintain good acidity, so it makes the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. I hope you find some good ones at some point, b/c it's definitely one of life's great experiences. lol
Wineberry --> Wine raspberry (Rubus phoenicolasius (ref gobotany), those 3 'leaves' are in fact only one and are called foliole, each globule is called a drupelet.
Pretty much everything immediately to the north (hudson valley) of you is wineberries and grapes. It would hedge my yard border if I let it, and any area is sets up shop in is pretty much impassable. There are like 4 types of thorn on that tasty bastard plant. Honestly, just north of NYC has a ton of wild growing fruit and edibles. That's some of the longest recovered woodland in the southern part of the state, generally speaking. It's an easy zone 6a and hilly, with every type of grade available and swamps everywhere. The biggest challenge here is the density of thorns and poison ivy, go into the catskills and both of those go away, but so does the sheer plant density and the sub tropical weather.
I was at a sublet for 8 months in Kitchener-ON-- off of what used to be known as Victoria Park. their yard was full of these-- so tasty! agreed-- those were overripe. they get a bit darker and very juicy
yep those are wineberries they are delicious im from maryland and in the more forested areas around here they are plentiful but ours usually ripen around late july
Wineberries are superior to raspberries. Both black raspberries and wineberries grow wild close to my house. Both are delicious but wineberries have a nice tartness to them along with a sweetness. Wineberries come in last too, mulberries, raspberries, blackberries then wineberries. I always say God saved the best for last.
I'd love to try a wine berry and a red currant berry. I've never tried either one before but I have tried this haribo twin snakes candy and each twin snake has two half flavors. One of them is half blueberry and half red currant. I want to try a real red currant now that I think of it.
At first i thought you had found some bramble berries, but that drupelet is not on point for such, and the flavor ad described is different. Neat though, heard wine berries are good!
I have wineberries in my garden from a cutting I got from my mom, who got a cutting from a childhood friend's grandma. They grow explosively fast and they're so full of berries that you can freshly pick enough every morning that you're having berries with a little yoghurt on them instead of the other way around. I have to cut it back by about 75% every year to stop it from choking out our raspbarries and taking over the entire garden. I have delicious breakfast all summer long, and on top of that I get to tank my shitty landlord's property value :)
I usually call them arils, or however you spell it. You know, the things in a pomegranate. Seeing how it's a bit of juicy, fleshy material surrounding a seed, I feel like it's a fitting term.
Picking and eating anything growing along a trail is risky! How many 2 and 4 legged critters stop to empty their bladders . Might be getting extra flavor 😀 I wouldn't eat them unless I washed them really well! Even then that close to the trail 😔 you never know what's on them.
