It took a while for me to discover that within the scrub trees and brush that line the lot are black cap bushes.
When I first moved here, I started cutting and clearing bushes and trees that lined the lot to tidy it up a bit. When everything started growing back, I happily discovered that what I thought were just pesky thorned vines were actually black cap bushes.
If you watch vigilantly and pick them throughout their season, you can freeze enough to make jam.
