Hey everyone, so I poked around the forum and the Internet but for the life of me I cannot find this berry online.
Here is the a description of the plant. I have also attached pics. So this stuff is very common here in the PNW (SW WA). I usually find it in around small thickets typically with Doug Fir and along with other berry's such as Salal, Oregon grape and red huckleberry. It is a bush like shrub about 2-3 feet tall and can sprawl and form carpet like areas. The berries grow on stems in a similar manner to Salal and maybe even blueberry. The leaves are oval like and get dark blotches as they mature. The fruit starts out as small green berry's then turns a very dark purple when ripe. It also has a hairy and sticky like surface. The bottom of the berry has a cross like bottom. The inside of the berry looks similar to a blueberry. I have been looking for about a week as to what it can be but I just cannot find out what it is and what makes me even more frustrated is that this stuff grows everywhere and stares me blatantly in my face. Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks eveyone!
