Default edible berry on tree
In article ,
says...

Hi,
I saw a tree in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia with purplish red
berries on it. The berries themselves looked quite a bit like blue
berries (except for the colour). This was however a 25+ft tree. I bit
into one of the berries and it was quite sweet, had a cluster of 10 or
so little seeds inside of it. Anyone know what it might be?

The berries were in bunches of 10 or so and were about the size and
shape of marbles.

for some reason I'm having trouble uploading a photo I took of it. Happy
to email to anyone who is willing to have a look.

Post it somewhere on the net... maybe sign up with Flickr and post a
link here.

This is a text newsgroup. No pictures allowed.

Your description suggests serviceberry though I don't know anything
about the number of seeds in the fruit.
