nannyberry starting to ripen, they’ll turn blue this month and taste delicious off the tree. these are a native shrub in the viburnum genus, related to highbush cranberry. they set fruit in the same way, you might think it was cranberry but it ripens a month later.. and while cranberry is very tart and better to cook with, nannyberry is great fresh, sweet just with a large seed, tastes more like a saskatoon mixed with something else. when they’re super ripe they can hang late and taste like raisons. I’ll be trying to collect more seed this fall, like other viburnum they need a long time to stratify, seed started in the spring will germinate the following year.
