My wife and I picked 5 1/2 quarts of June berries today. They were twice the size of last years and I should be able to pick them for another two weeks.

Someone was asking about them on facebook, my wife said, the other day. I had never heard of them. What the uses for them? I think knowing the people asking about them, they were likely thinking of making wine out of them.

We call them Saskatoon berries here, first berries the black bears will eat here, not as common in my area as blueberries.

Nice.

Many folks here call them Serviceberries. I have some on my property but haven't tasted them yet.

Those are great looking berry's. I have wild one in the hills and along a crick but I haven't had a good crop for a few years now. I checked yesterday and another poor year and what is there are slow to ripen this year too. I did plant a tree at my home in town and I been just eating from the tree. I still have about three larger freezer bags full off them I use throughout the ear.

I'm jealous MJM.

I've also heard some folks call them " Goose Berries " I've seen them out in the hills around stock tanks \ windmills and coulee's with a good underground spring .

Enjoy them for us and share some pictures of what you've made from them jelly or syrup .

There is a goose berry also. It is a totally different berry. My wife makes pies, crisp, muffins, pancakes and waffles with them. I am sure they would make good wine, but I have never had any.

Those gooseberry could be Black Current. They are excellent berry for all kinds of consumption. I harvest about 5 to 8 gallons of them a year from my place.

just picked a gallon of gooseberries and made a pie! nasty bushes!
I also picked a couple gallons of blueberries. Early Blue, Chandler, and Spartans I think.
Found out the neighbors been sending their grandkids over with bags and pint containers when I am at work and picking my berries. Wife was beyond (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)! I had just sprayed when they did it and when I told them they just kept picking like they lived here.

We've been selling serviceberry trees this year. Most people have never heard of them. They sold really well at one venue and not at all at the others. Elderberry, Haskap (honey berry), pawpaw, persimmon and redbud have been our best sellers.

I need to plant around half a dozen serviceberry trees on my farm.

I like to dry them. Mash them just enough to break the skins open, then into the dehydrator. Also eat them fresh, around here some shrubs have sweeter berries than others.

Serviceberry one of the first fruits that ripen in this area and the birds go bonkers over them

Lee, I think the July berries taste better. Maybe it is from waiting to get another batch. Here some years they are not worth trying to pick. There can be so few it is not worth your time. I think late frost does them in here often. I may run down to Spencer. If I do I will look you up. Make sure you got a chair for me. I like to act like I belong there.

I forgot to add another of my favorite berries to pick , they're buffalo berries they are kind of dangerous to pick because of the thorns on the branches but they are darn good eating .

I like them as a freeze dried snack during the winter months when I find a few of the berries still on the branches .
