There are wild red berries growing along the Yough River Trail near Van Meter. There are yellow ones also, but on different bushes. I would like to know what they are and if they are edible. Sending pictures of both.
7/23/14 - I found them on line. They are honeysuckle berries! Not edible. No answer required unless I am wrong.
