Sloe berries
Sloe berries
Sloe berries are growing in profusion on a blackthorn bush (Prunus spinosa) in a Devon hedgerow. They can be used for making sloe gin but it is advisable to wait until the first frost before picking them (a way round this is to use a home freezer as a frosty weather substitute).
