Unfortunately they’re very invasive up here but there’s a pretty productive bush where I work, and I’m not allowed to remove it, so at least I can get some free berries out of it. If you’ve never had them, they’re sweet but a little tart.

    Do just eat them straight, or use them for anything else?

    If i wanted to, I could probably collect my bodyweight in these berries in a day, but I never used them for anything.

      Not sure if I have them here. I find it risky having anything I could forage in vast quantities.

      Came home with a bag full of cherry plums earlier this year, turned them into 8-10L of fruity mead. Need to drink more to free up some bottles and shelf space.

      Jams. They’re a bit small and have a large pit but if you gather a bunch, they make a mean jam.
