Blackberry · Blueberry
📍 3Q5W+H3 Silver City, NC, USA
🗓 Season: July · August · September
🔍 When is it ripe?
Blackberry: Fully black (not red or dark red) and comes off the stem with no resistance — zero pull. Dull rather than shiny; a shiny black berry is still slightly underripe and tart. Eat the same day for best flavour.
Blueberry: Deep blue-purple with a silvery bloom; stem scar (not stem) at the top. Taste is the best test — a truly ripe blueberry is sweet and has no pink flesh inside. Let the cluster go fully blue before picking the whole thing.
Several species of blueberry can be found in these woods. The blackberries are some of the sweetest wild ones I've tasted.
