Re: [nafex] salmonberry



Hi........
    I am a resident of the Canadian island province of Newfoundland, and here, Rubus chamaemorus is the berry we commonly refer to as Bakeapple. A
low growing plant of the acidic peatlands. Each plant bears a single "berry". There is a commercial harvest, with berries retailing for approximately
$40. per gallon!  I have never heard of "a national fruit" as such, but at these prices, this could be one!

George Brinson, Carmanville, NF  -  where "bakeapples" are two months to blossom time.
