Blackthorn
📍 J69W+F2 Norwich, UK
🗓 Season: September · October · November
🔍 When is it ripe?
Sloe berries: small, round, blue-black with a heavy bloom. Intensely astringent raw — traditionally harvested after the first frost, which breaks down tannins. Best used for sloe gin or jelly. Spiny branches — wear gloves when harvesting.
Just before the path junction, there is a small Blackthorn hidden on the right-hand side of the path on UEA Broad. Tasty berries but not many when I visited.
