And a big thank you for the immediate reply!

@EatTheWeeds Thanks so much. I had started to harvest the patch I found but now I know to leave it for another month or two. Thanks again Deane, cheers!

@EatTheWeeds Thanks, I feel silly referring to it as a conglomerate now haha. Would you mind sharing which two are are not edible? I am an aspiring Botanist and there are still some things I'm not familiar with. I always make sure I learn the plant before doing anything with it. I find It's best to bring a camera, take a few photos of the plant and study them and the plant you assume it is. After I am sure of at least what genus it is and whether or not it is poisonous, then I make my move.

Thanks for your reply. That clears up the mystery.

Are you biking off of Markham road? Also, other than your wonderfully informative videos which I do enjoy, are there any specific books you recommend to be most accurate in their information? Such as something to take with me that has photos to compare. I appreciate it.

@RyanRuscitto I was on the Seminole Trail. Unfortunately there is no such book, particulary for our area.

Sorry, I have one more question. I was informed that all conglomerate berries that are red or black are edible, is this fact true?

@kingcollie The correct term is "aggregate fruit" Conglomerate seems to be an internet invention. There is one survivalist who teaches that 99% of them are edible. I can think of two that are not. So while it's perhaps more true than not, it is no short cut. Learn the plant.

Hey there Green Deane, great videos. I'm sure they will be a good reference guide for me when I venture into the bush up here in Canada. I have a question about wild grapes: I found a nice patch of Vitis riparia and I was wondering when I should harvest them/ when are they ripe? And would the harvest time be different in Ontario Canada from the harvest time in Florida?

@kingcollie Vitis riparia are ripe when they are black, and surprisingly they are ripe in the fall, just as they are here.
