RE: Hiking for Blackberries

in WORLD OF XPILAR2 years ago

The only fruits we get in our city are from fruit vendors. There's no concept of picking fruits directly from trees in Karachi as it's a metropolitan and we hardly have any fruit orchards. But I had the oppurtunity of picking and eating fresh fruits quite recently when I visited the northern areas of Pakistan and it was an amazing experience.

Speaking of berries, I picked blackberries as well in the northern areas. These are know as shehtoot in our mother tongue (urdu)

I have heard there are some poisonous fruits in the forrests as well. Is it true?

There are very few poisonous berries in our climate zone. I know of only three poisonous species, but they are very rare in the forest. It's a different matter in the mountains, where there are slightly higher chances of encountering poisonous berries.
