🗓 Season: October · November · December
🔍 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).
Mature plants of varias species varying in height from 3 feet to 12 feet tall are planted as a screen along both the Saratoga Avenue, and Cox Avenue, frontages. The spaces are publicly accessible by foot along both roads, or by parking in the church parking lot. Westhope Presbyterian church, next door, also has glean-able plants.
