| | | When is a Bilberry not a Bilberry if at all?
Hi All
The woods opposite our new home has a large (read HUGE) area covered with what I think are bilberries BUT being a scaredy cat I just wanted to check is there anything else I can confuse a bilberry with?
I know I should have posted a photo but I'm at work and the question just popped into my head. I'm 99.99999999999999% convinced that they are bilberries but just wanted to check. I have looked at WAB posters photos and in my head I know but.........still.........
Also no-one seems to pick them...appreciate that they are diddy and fiddly but if they are bilberries I would have thought people would want to put them in pies, jellies, vodka or gin?
Thx

Sorry | Yes Id pics are fine..as long as you don't take the id from a website to mean they are edibles.. |

Regards Chris... | OK..but its still a grey area..the mods will remove threads they think are not suitable and some have been removed already that are not yet rules.
All I meant was to read that thread as this discusses the issues.. | | |
