@themediterraneangardener: How to identify sloe berries. The Sloe bush or Blackthorn is a small tree or shrub growing up to 4m. The bark is blackish with thorny thin branches. The leaves are oval shaped with a serrated margin. The fruits, called sloes, are bluish-black often with a waxy coating. The fruit is round, between 1 and 1.5cm, and contains one large stone and, normally, not much flesh. #sloe #sloegin #gardeningtiktok #learntok #gardentok
