Trees that bear berries
Berries That Grow On Trees
If you want to grow your own fruit at home berries are some of the simplest – and tastiest – options. There’s an amazing variety of them, from plump and succulent strawberries to tart cranberries, and they’re key ingredients in a wide range of recipes. What exactly is a berry though? You can picture plenty of them in your head, but a precise answer is surprisingly hard!
Scientifically, a berry is a fruit that grows from the ovary of a single flower. The outer layer of the ovary wall develops into a fleshy coating surrounding the seeds. This definition gives very different results from what we usually mean when we say “berry”. For example tomatoes are berries. That’s not too much of a stretch – scale up a cranberry and it wouldn’t look that different from a tomato – but how about cucumbers and eggplant? Yes, they’re berries too. So are grapes and bananas. Then again, some fruit that everyone knows are berries don’t meet the scientific rules. That includes two of the most popular – strawberries and raspberries.
So there are two ways of defining berries; the scientific way, and the more common definition of any small, pulpy fruit. But both are based on the size and structure of the fruit, not on any family relationship. Berries come from a host of different plants, many of them not closely related at all – and often not even slightly similar. Most berries grow on bushes, which can be neat shrubs like cultivated raspberries and gooseberries to dense, spiky thickets like wild blackberries. Strawberries come from small, low plants that if left to grow spread into ground vines. Cranberries vary by species, with some being bushes and others vines. There really is an immense variety, and it includes larger plants too – there are berries that grow on trees. Let’s have a look at some of them.
Mulberry
These mid-sized trees are easily grown from cuttings or seeds, and grow quickly for the first few years; it doesn’t take long for them to reach a size where they can produce a decent crop. After their initial spurt they can grow more slowly to between 30 and 50 feet, depending on species, That makes it very hard to pick the berries though, so commercial plantations usually prune them to a height of five or six feet.
The berries themselves look like elongated raspberries and have an intense sweet flavor. Most are dark red or black when ripe but there’s also a white cultivar, which has a milder taste. Mulberries are native to Asia and parts of Africa but can be grown in many regions of the USA. Check your local laws though – some cities have banned them because male trees produce large amounts of pollen.
Hackberry
Different species of hackberry trees are found throughout the northern hemisphere and several are native to the USA. The Western Hackberry from the southwest and the southern Desert Hackberry are two that have edible berries; these have a quite dry texture, a bit like dates, but a pleasant sweet taste. Hackberry trees are sometimes grown ornamentally, especially in areas with low rainfall. The Desert Hackberry is almost more of a shrub, growing to about ten feet, while the Western Hackberry can reach up to 70.
Canada Buffaloberry
Despite the name this species also grows in the western and northern USA, plus Alaska. It grows up to around 13 feet high and is found in and around wooded areas. Native Americans have been collecting its berries for centuries to make a delicacy called sxusem. The Buffaloberry has an unusual flavor with both bitter and sweet notes, so to reduce the bitterness they’re mixed with a sweet fruit – usually raspberries – in a large bowl then whipped, like cream, to produce a frothy mixture. The froth comes from a chemical in the berries called saponin, which produces bubbles like soap.
Soapberry
The Canada Buffaloberry isn’t the only fruit that contains saponin. There’s also the Soapberry family, found in the southern and southeastern USA. The fruits of these trees aren’t edible, because there’s enough saponin in them to irritate your stomach. However there’s also enough to act as a natural detergent, and Native Americans have traditionally used the berries to make soap.
Rowan
Also known as Mountain Ash, there are several native species of rowan in the USA. They’re mid-sized trees that produce spectacular bunches of bright berries. Most are red, but some Asian species have white berries. European rowans have slightly bitter, but edible, berries that can be made into a jelly. They can also be dried, ground and used as a coffee substitute. An old name for the European rowan is the chequer tree; the British Prime Minister’s country home, Chequers, is named after the rowans in its grounds.
Yew
Yew trees are conifers, with two species – the Pacific Yew and Canadian Yew – found in North America. It’s an important tree to many pagans and its wood is excellent for making bows (the famous English longbow was traditionally made of yew) but it also produces soft, fleshy red berries. The flesh is edible and very sweet – but eating them is dangerous. Every part of the tree except the flesh contains taxine, a highly toxic alkaloid, and that includes the single seed inside each berry. The seeds from just a handful of berries can cause death in a few hours, so it’s a dangerous tree to have around. Taxine is particularly lethal to horses, cattle and pigs, but even the pollen of yew can cause a wide range of uncomfortable symptoms, from triggering asthma attacks to rashes, headaches and sore joints.
Final Thoughts on Berry Trees
There are many more berries that grow on trees, and several can be grown either ornamentally or for their fruit. Take care when selecting ornamental ones though, especially if you have young children. Not all are edible, and while the yew is an extreme example there are others that can make you ill. Just because a fruit tastes good doesn’t always mean it’s completely safe. Of course some edible species make good ornamentals too, so you can have the best of both worlds!
Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Request 13 Guide (Trees That Bear Berries)
By Chris Birsner
Here is a walkthrough of how to complete Request 13 in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
The core gameplay of Pokemon Legends: Arceus has players going into various areas of the Sinnoh region and studying Pokemon by either capturing them or taking them on in battle. However, there is a lot more the player can do besides just go through the grind of filling out the Pokedex.
RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Every Pokémon in the Hisui Pokedex (& Where to Find Them)
For instance, players can talk to individuals and take on requests. By partaking in these side missions, players can reap rewards such as more items or currency. One of the early requests in Pokemon Legends: Arceus is "Trees That Bear Berries," otherwise known as Request 13. The request is rather straightforward if players know where to look.
3 How To Begin The Request
While many of the requests the player can get are in Jubilife Village, there are also individuals that they could meet while out on missions in the various wild areas of the game. For Request 13, players will need to look for Bjorn in the Obsidian Fieldlands. To do this, players should start from Fieldlands Camp in the northern part of the map.
From there, just follow the path down the hills and across the bridge. Keep heading south until right before the path begins to go uphill with torches. Here, players should look to their left and see a man with black hair and a goatee standing there with a request marker. Bjorn will tell the player that he is looking for three Cheri Berries and will give some tips on how to acquire them.
2 How To Get Cheri Berries
Players will not need to go far to collect these Cheri Berries. If players look in the surrounding area near Bjorn, they will spot a few trees that have a blue tint to them and yellow orbs hanging in the tree. Cheri Berries are actually red, but that doesn't change what the orb color is. To collect these berries, players will need to throw one of their Pokemon on the tree.
RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Double the Tails, Double the Fun Guide (Request 50)
After doing so, the Pokemon will pop out of their ball and attack the tree. This will cause the tree to shake and drop the berries, which will automatically be put into the player's inventory. Players will likely only need to do this to two trees as they tend to drop more than one berry.
1 Another Method & Reward
In addition to the usual method of collecting these berries, players could also purchase the items as well. Back in Jubilife Village, players will see the Ginkgo Guild parked in front of Galaxy Hall. Here, Tuli (the individual standing) will offer a player a list of items that players could collect while out in the wild.
Among these items are Cheri Berries, which Tuli offers for 120 Pokémon Dollars per berry. So if players have 360 Pokemon Dollars to spare and the guild is in town, this could be an alternative approach.
Upon bringing the berries to Bjorn, he will thank the player and provide a tip on how to use berries while attempting to lure Pokemon. After this, he will give the player 15 Poke Balls as a reward.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is out now on Nintendo Switch.

A well-maintained orchard is the pride of any gardener. Everyone grows trees in his garden according to his own taste and the climate of the area. However, thanks to the achievements of breeders, today it has become possible to grow fruit crops in the north, which have always been considered southern, so the border between heat-loving and frost-resistant crops has become less clear. Moreover, from seedlings of new varieties, the harvest can be obtained not in five to seven years, as before, but already in the second or third year. nine0003
What fruit trees usually grow in our gardens? Apple trees, pears, apricots, cherries, plums and cherries. In southern climates, peach, mulberry, pomegranate and fig can be grown. Many of these crops are not only tasty, but also have medicinal properties. Exotic fruit trees - date, coffee tree, kumquat, avocado, feijoa, lemon, cocoa - can be grown from seeds in a greenhouse or on a windowsill.
Trees consist of a root system, stem, central conductor and lateral (skeletal, semi-skeletal, overgrowing) branches. Two types of buds are formed on the branches: growth, or vegetative, and flower, or generative. Generative buds are larger than growth buds and have a more rounded shape. From them, flowers develop first, and then fruits. The fruits of trees are fruits, berries and nuts. nine0003

Common apricot (lat. Prunus armeniaca) is a species of fruit tree of the Plum genus of the Pink family. Scientists still do not know exactly where the apricot came from. Some believe that from the Tien Shan region in China, others are sure that Armenia is the birthplace of the plant. In any case, the apricot came to Europe from Armenia: there is a version that Alexander the Great brought it to Greece, and from there the tree came to Italy, but there is no documentary evidence for this. nine0003

Azimina (lat. Asimina), or pow-pow, is a genus of flowering plants of the Annonaceae family, which includes 8 species, distributed, for the most part, in the United States. Azimina is also called a banana tree or American papaya (pow-pow), since the fruits of all three plants have some similarities with each other. For the sake of these edible fruits, the three-lobed pawpaw, or pawpaw triloba (Asimina triloba), introduced into cultivation in 1736, is grown in gardens. It is grown in regions with a warm climate, for example, in Italy, France, Japan and Spain. nine0003

Aronia chokeberry, or chokeberry (lat. Aronia melanocarpa) is a fruit shrub or tree belonging to the Aronia species of the Pink family. The name of the plant in Greek means help, benefit. Aronia rowan originates from eastern North America, where it grows along the banks of lakes and rivers. In total, up to 20 species of chokeberry can be found in North America. In Europe, chokeberry was grown as an ornamental plant, but in the 19th century Michurin discovered that it was unpretentious and suitable for selection, and as a result, the aronia berry grows literally everywhere today. nine0003

Plant barberry (lat. Berberis) belongs to a large genus of shrubs and trees of the Barberry family. The genus name comes from the Arabic "beiberi", meaning "shell-shaped". Barberries are distributed mainly in the mountainous areas of the Northern Hemisphere and there are about 170 species, some of which are introduced into cultivation. For gardeners, barberry is of interest as a raw material base for the manufacture of drinks, jams, home remedies, but the decorative qualities of this plant do not go unnoticed by lovers of beauty - the color of the leaves of varietal barberries is diverse, except for green, they are yellow, purple, motley, spotted and even with border. Barberries also differ in their size - from large bushes of three meters in height to dwarf bushes no higher than 30 cm.

The plant common hawthorn (lat. Crataegus laevigata), or prickly hawthorn, or flattened hawthorn, or glod, or lady-tree is a species of the genus Hawthorn of the Pink family. In the wild, it is found in North America, throughout Europe on the edges, in pine and deciduous forests, on heavy clay soils. The species name of the hawthorn translates as "strong", which indicates the quality of its wood, and perhaps the ability of the plant to live up to 400 years. Hawthorn does not require special care and is grown in culture as an ornamental and medicinal plant. nine0003

Cherry (Prunus subg. Cerasus) is a subgenus of plants of the Plum genus of the Rosaceae family. The name "cherry" is consonant with the German Weichsel (cherry) and the Latin viscum (bird glue), based on which the meaning of the word "cherry" can be perceived as "bird cherries with sticky juice." The ancient Romans called these fruits "cerasi" after the city of Kerasunda, which became famous for its delicious sweet cherries, or "bird cherries". From the Latin word cerasi comes the Italian, French, German and English name for cherries. nine0003

Cherry plant (lat. Cerasus) is a subgenus of the genus Plum of the Rosaceae family. The Russian name of the tree comes from the same base as the German Weichse, meaning "cherry", and the Latin viscum, which means "bird glue", so the original meaning of the name "cherry" can be defined as "tree with sticky juice". The Latin name for cherry cerasus comes from the name of the city of Kerasunda, on the outskirts of which delicious cherries grew in abundance, which the Romans called Kerasundian fruits, hence the French cerise, Spanish cereza, Portuguese cereja, English cherry and Russian cherry, which the Romans called bird cherry. nine0003

Hello everyone! I offer you a concise, but rather detailed story on how to grow peaches the right way. When choosing a seedling, it is better to give preference to a variety zoned for your area, so that the fruits over the summer have time to fill up to the varietal size and ripen. If you want a tree to last 30-40 years, grow it from a stone.

The walnut tree (lat. Juglans regia) is a species of the genus Walnut of the Walnut family. Otherwise, this nut is called Voloshsky, royal or Greek. In the wild, walnut grows in western Transcaucasia, northern China, the Tien Shan, northern India, Greece and Asia Minor. Individual specimens of the plant are found even in Norway. But the largest natural hazel trees are located in the south of Kyrgyzstan. Iran is believed to be the birthplace of the walnut, although it has been speculated that it may be of Chinese, Indian or Japanese origin. The first mention of the walnut in historical documents dates back to the 7th-5th century BC: Pliny writes that the Greeks brought this culture from the gardens of Cyrus, the king of Persia. nine0003

Pear (lat. Pyrus) is a genus of ornamental and fruit deciduous shrubs and trees of the Pink family. About 60 species of this genus are known. The pear was cultivated in ancient Greece, Rome and Persia. In the wild, the pear grows in the warm zone of Eurasia, as well as in areas with a temperate climate. Today, thanks to the work of breeders, this crop, which has more than one thousand varieties, is also grown in cooler regions - in the Moscow region, in the Urals and in Western Siberia. nine0003
