Question
Hello! I would very much appreciate if you could help me identify some plants growing in my backyard in Canton, MA. Thanks! This shrub is about 2 and a half feet tall.
Answer
JayneM, the black berry without bloom derived from an inferior ovary (you can see the sepal remnants at the top of the fruit) and short array of fruits suggests this plant is Gaylussacia baccata (black huckleberry). Best wishes.
