March 31 Information
This month I spotted and tried some blackcurrant-like berries in Warsaw growing on the street that turned out to be tasteless and bland, so I spat them out. Any idea what are these berries judging by pics? 212.180.235.46 ( talk) 13:36, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Could be the winter-fruiting Rhamnus cathartica {common buckthorn), if so, just as well you spat them out apparently. Mikenorton ( talk) 15:12, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not a "berry" good idea to eat fruit you don't recognize.
