Almost rolled the truck in Audubon, MN when I did a double take on an apple I saw growing in the ditch. Also saw this loaded thing. Anyone know?   |

When state DOTs still plant stuff like Russian Olive, crownvetch, and Siberian Peashrub, it makes me question why invasives are sooooo bad.
Lincoln Oakes nursery in NoDak is state owned....they still sell R.O., Caragana (peashrub), Siberian Elm, and Amur Maple. Many online nurseries still sell various forms of bush honeysuckle.

Poisonous
If the berries of honeysuckle plants are ingested in large quantities, they can cause illness. Toxicity varies depending on the species, ranging from non-poisonous to mildly toxic. Symptoms of mild poisoning by honeysuckle berries include vomiting, diarrhea, sweats, dilated pupils and increased heartbeat. If ingested in large quantities, respiratory failure, convulsions and coma may occur. However, the nectar from the flowers of a honeysuckle plant can be ingested without harm, according to the North Carolina State University Cooperative Extension.

I would have grabbed a 5 gallon bucket, picked a bunch, add some sugar, add some yeast, and ferment away. Consume and then shit thru a strainer for a week, |
