Yep, definitely larger than a ping pong ball. We have wild strawberries and blueberries here which are pretty to look at but they don’t taste good (mealy texture, not sweet).

That’s interesting. My grandpa always collected wild blackberries and wild grapes for jelly. It tasted great as jelly.

We also have some wild blackberries, and they taste really good, but last year the drought killed all except the ones we got in early spring, and there was just undersized very dry ones this year.

Hoping for better next year. Hubby was into a phase of wild foraging a long time ago, and went around collecting all kinds of stuff. This included wild strawberries. They were very small, but tasted good. Maybe our Missouri soil is better than I thought.LOL
