wineberries

Red fuzzy brambles

Wineberries are small, deep red berries from an Asian raspberry species, now naturalized in eastern North America.

The fruit has a sweet-tart flavor and wine-red color that gives it its name.

The plants spread aggressively and are considered invasive in some regions, though foragers prize the berries for eating fresh or making preserves: We picked wineberries along the trail.
