Here’s a video I made to help my farmers’ market customers get to know juneberries.
Funny thing is I started off calling them serviceberries and switched to juneberries and sales improved tremendously. We are east coast, piedmont of Virginia and they are a great bush for bees, birds and people. The video shows clearly what the cedar rust looks like. The good thing is I don’t worry about it too much and just pick the unaffected ones. I sell them fresh and freeze dried at the market. The taste to me is a cross between a blueberry and a grape. It isn’t my favorite because I love tart (Goumi is my favorite), but for those that love mild fruit will enjoy juneberries tremendously!
