Dewberry Picking in the Arboretum

Fruits on the dewberry vines have been ripening over the past two weeks. 


The large dewberry patch near the Student Union Building is the easiest place to find and pick berries.
It isn't necessary to walk through the tall, overgrown areas—just walking the perimeter you can easily pick a handful of berries.

The fruits do not all ripen at once, so check back every few days to pick a few more.

Ripe berries are dark purple or black. Yum!
