🔍 When is it ripe?
Black elderberry: Clusters of deep purple-black berries; cut entire clusters. Never eat raw — cook thoroughly (destroys sambunigrin). Ripe when all berries on the cluster are uniformly dark and the cluster droops. High in antioxidants; excellent syrup.
Common grape: Fully coloured and separates easily from the stem. Taste is the best guide — sweet with little tartness. Harvest the whole bunch at once.
Many bushes if elderberry trees and wild Grapes encasing a dead tree. Grapes almost look like a weeping Willow from the dance foliage
