The Arboretum is berry good right now

The Asiatic sweetleaf is in full, hmm, not bloom, but full berry, perhaps?

Very nice. Leave them for the birds. Market basket has berries for people

Some 'Shocking Blue' berry jam sounds nice.

I wonder how the Arboretum keeps the birds from eating them all?

Why would the Arboretum try to keep the birds from eating all the berries?

First you need flowers, then you get berries.

Interestingly, this particular plant can't self-pollinate. So you have to have multiple bushes to get berries like this.

are called sapphireberries.

And now I'm intrigued about the taste.
