Northern Wild Raisin

The northern wild raisin is a small tree that produces the fruit shown in today's photos. The pink berries will soon change to a deep blue (you can see a couple in the second photo). Though I have never tasted these berries, the literature states that they are edible. I will have to try them in a couple of weeks.

These trees are pretty common around here. Today's photos were taken about 100 feet from my house.
