    Does anyone know if this is winterberry? Have seen a bit of it on the property.

    The leaves look sort of like it. The pics I looked at maybe had more serration on the leaves. Pinch one of the berries to see if a largish black pit is inside. This almost looks like High Bush Cranberry. If the fruit has the black seed and the juice is mildly tart and the bush is sparse and under 10 feet I’d say its cranberry. Makes super good jelly.

    Search High Bush Cranberry, check the leaves and berry cluster pictures to identify.

    I’d ask Juan Valdez. Looks like coffee beans to me.
