They taste kinda like a raspberry, though not nearly as sweet. They are an invasive species of shrub/small tree. The leaves look like those of an olive tree. I guess the berries have a high quantity of lycopene in them. All I know is they are really easy to pick, they don’t stain your hands, you can eat the berries and their seeds, and dang do we have a ton of the shrubby trees in the Back 40.

I’ve never even seen an autumn olive berry. What do they taste like?
