Autumn Viburnum edule

i dont think we have anything like this, i dont remember any berries with a strong smell, are they poisonous?

They are edible, I think they make a wonderful syrup. Most people don't like the smell as it really gets overwhelming if you live in the hills. Kind of sickening and sweet.

Lovely autumn colours Greenthumb.

is it like rose hip syrup that we used to be given as children ~ to keep colds away?

Stunning shot, GT. Lots of colour and a real representation of Autumn.

Thank you Lin. :-)

There is a good bit of vit C in it, but the syrup is strong flavored and tart, not like a mild rosehips syrup. I like how it reminds me of summer when I have it in winter.

Thank you TOG. My favorite Autumn wild plant.

Lovely colour GT!

Thanks Pip. Just love looking at it. Always in nice patches, seldom alone. :-)
