Do you not find that you need to put some mesh on them to keep the birds from eating them?

Hiking at some of the provincial parks around Winnipeg, I have picked a lot of raspberries, blueberries, saskatoons, wild plums, highbush cranberries, chokecherries (or wild black cherry), wild grape ( frost grape or riverbank grape-in Beaudry Provincial Park) wild strawberries and hazelnuts.

Nope; the birds actually mostly leave them alone, it seems.

Any wild berries in Pickering? maybe RoFo's dingleberries.
