Bakeapples/Cloudberries
A couple of weeks ago I hiked to my bakeapple patch and
was disappointed to see that there were very few berries. I assumed it was
because the weather in June and July was so cold in this area that the plants
didn't produce much fruit. As a result, I decided not to pick any this year and
let them grow and produce seeds for next year.
Since the patch is a 1.5 mile (2.4 km) hike from the main highway, I am probably the only person who goes that far to pick the berries. I have been gathering fruit in that location for many years and there have only been a few years that there weren't many berries. A couple of times it was because of a late frost and this year it was because of an extended period of very cold weather.
I do have lots of photos of bakeapples and will share a few over the next few days. Today's images show the berries before they are totally ripe.
