Guelder Rose


The guelder rose (Viburnum opulus) produces another berry that always looks totally unreal to me - although on a dull and drizzly day their almost synthetic glow really brightens things up. Apparently they are a good source of Vitamin C and can be used in place of cranberries, although they don't taste as good. Worth remembering if you're ever stranded in the wilderness, I suppose...
