What’s edible: The flowers and berries have been used for centuries for both culinary and medicinal purposes. The antioxidant-packed berries can be used to make pies, jams, jellies and wine, and the flowers are often added to cordials and tea. However, unripe or raw berries and all other parts of the plant are toxic, including the leaves, stems, seeds and roots, so be careful! Can live 25-50 years! Zones 4-9.
