Commonly Found Berries

In this post I will show pictures of four berries. I will describe where they can be found and how to find them. The first berry......Blackberries. I have found blackberries in California more than anywhere else. When you find a blackberry bush in California it usually means you found three bushes. Blackberry bushes in my experience come in "packs," or you find one huge bush. Blackberry bushes are usually found in wooded areas or near them. When you pick a blackberry you should be careful because their stems are very prickly. The second berry...the mulberry. Mulberries are all over Iowa. You could just walking downtown and see a row of giant mulberry trees. Mulberry trees could be anywhere. Mulberries look very similar to blackberries but they taste completely different. The third berry... Gooseberries! Gooseberries are a delicious fruit that along with blackberries, has spiky stems. I have seen gooseberries in parts of the midwest. They

 can be found in wooded areas. And now the fourth berry... the Raspberry! I have seen wild raspberry bushes a couple of times in the midwest. They're pretty thorny also.
