Clouberry (Rubus chamaemorus)

[flowerpower]

I saw this berry on 2 different Scandanavian cooking shows last week. My bf picked me up a jar of the preserves. VERY tasty. The seeds are a bit hard though.

There is really no source for plants. I do have the boggy conditions it needs. Blueberry is very prevalent in the wetland. I saw that it grows wild in Canada. Sometimes it's called Bakeapple. If anyone sees this plant, please let me know. I'd really like seeds. Thanks

Hmmm, now you have me curious.

I have heard of this plant growing here in cold, rocky conditions like Newfoundland and up north. If I am lucky enough to find myself (decked out in moisquito netting) in an alpine marsh, I will collect a basket so we can all give it a go.

This project looks interesting:

I'll brave the skeeters. I do it every yr to collect the low bush bluberries. It's the black bears I am concerned about. lol
