well my thought is.. in case it is edible i would want to know for sure. if it is it looks like jelly to me. i would call the county extension agent. i would take a sample directly to them to verify what it is. if it is edible and grows wild it might be a fine food. please let us know. maybe a neighbor would know since they live in your neck of the woods. happy days sherrye

If you really want to know, you could try your local extension office. The one in our area seems to be able to answer any question we can come up with.
I have one of those bushes growing by my garage and it's really quite lovely, but I didn't plant it!! It just showed up 10 years ago and I love it, but do notice the birds don't eat the berries, so figure they're probably not edible. My guess only......Lin

Red huckleberries are not native to Ohio. Look at the leaves--are they opposite each other or alternate. If they are alternate it is a huckleberry (Vaccinium) If they are opposite it's a honeysuckle(Lonicera. JoAnn

..the best bet would be to take it to the extension or a master gardner... safer too!
Can you tell me what this wild berry is?
