🔍 When is it ripe?
Berries take two years to ripen; look for plump, blue-black, waxy berries (not green or unripe purple-brown). The white bloom is natural. Used as a spice for game and gin — 2–3 berries per dish. Do not confuse with toxic yew berries (red with a pit, no bloom).
On the main trail to the peak of Sugarloaf mountain, juniper bushes that are very low to the ground with small berries.
