Berry Finder

Identify wild berries and fruits in eastern North America with this pocket-size guide.

If you're fascinated by native plants or the practice of foraging, then learning to identify berries and fruits is essential. While this is not a guide to edible plants, Berry Finder by Dorcas S. Miller is a great tool for getting started with plant identification. This handy, easy-to-use booklet can help you identify native plants with fleshy fruit in the eastern half of North America.

The booklet provides a dichotomous key to identifying ripe berries and berry-like fruits. Simply answer a series of simple questions about the plant type, leaf pattern, leaf margin, and fruit color. Along the way, professional illustrations by Cherie Hunter Day help to guide you to a positive identification.
