Is it my imagination or do other people think that the less tarty blueberries don't stain as much?

Blueberries don't stain half as much as wimberries, and they don't have the same inky, purpley blackness to them either.

So according to you they are not as tarty and tasty, not the same colour and not the delight of the staining ! Hmmph 'fings 'aint what they used to be, are they ?

Used to be some blackberry bushes at the bottom of the Coppice, just above the bowling greens.

They're just two different breeds of berries but people seem to be using blueberres these days instead.

Re: Charged for picking berry's

I reckon the top ones are blueberries because they look more blue.

I've just been a-googling and there are numerous sites which claim that the whinberry is the same as the blueberry, and even huckleberry and bilberry. There also seem to be two official names 'wimberry' and 'whinberry' which is interesting if most people round here call them wimberries but we have names like Whinney Hill.

You are right the top one are blueberries. The second are w(h)imberries, or bilberries, which are apparently one and the same.
