Plant of the Day

Thursday 31 March 2022

The suckering deciduous shrub Oemleria cerasiformis (oso berry, Indian plum, Oregon plum) flowers before the leaves emerge. On female plants in the autumn there will be a crop of small, astringent tasting, plum-like purple fruits.

Osoberry, Oemleria cerasiformis (Rosaceae). 🌸 This plant has leaves with a lovely cucumber scent and decent-tasting berries if you get to them before the birds do! ... Oemleria is named after Augustus Gottlieb Oemler (1773-1852), a German-born naturalist who settled in Savannah, Georgia. The specific epithet translates to “cherry-shaped”, regarding the appearance of the fruit (though one common name is Indian Plum, not cherry). .. #oemleriacerasiformis #rosaceae #osoberry #indianplum #plants #flowers #wildflowers #botany #pnw #plantsofinstagram #naturephotography #plantobsessed (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/pnw_botany/p/BvvABbKFhpx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u0iiqjupn86g
