Hi,
I'm into foraging and had a fun afternoon. I came across 3 trees that I do not recognise and that are not on the sites at I have been searching. I'm hoping that some one could help out?
I'm also hoping that one might be edible in some way;)

1 is Spindle, brain fade on the others.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Thanks. Million :T
Shame it ain't edible
It has medicinal uses though apparently!

I think the second tree is dogwood - not sure about the 3rd one though.0

The spindle is known as the wild service tree? I know the berries can be eaten as there is a information board in a ancient local wood, that says people used to eat them. Quite how palatable today they would be, I don't know.jumblejack wrote: »Thanks. Million :T

The spindle isn't edible sadly!
The wild service tree is once the fruit has bletted. I'd love to find one of those:j:A Every moment is a gift. That's why we call it the present.!:A

1 spindle - got one in very old hedge in my garden - good autumn colour but never tried eating or making wine with it!
3 looks like guelder rose0 -
I don't think the second one is a dogwood
I'd be ecstatic if so as the fruit is edible apparently after a quick google.
All the fruits I've seen on the web look like this though:
Are there different varieties of the tree?:A Every moment is a gift. That's why we call it the present.!:A

Can anyone find a picture of the midlands thorn?
I want to check it out but can't find it on the web? :A Every moment is a gift. That's why we call it the present.!:A

Ahh, right sorry for the misinformation. I know there are some in a wood close to me, but I always forget to look for them while I'm there :rotfl:jumblejack wrote: »The spindle isn't edible sadly!
