Cloudberry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia

The cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus), also called Bakeapple in Newfoundland and Labrador, Cape Breton Island and southern Nova Scotia, is a slow-growing alpine or sub-Arctic species of Rubus, producing amber-colored edible fruit. The botanical name (chamæmorus) derives from the Greek khamai ("on the ground") and moros ("mulberry"). Cloudberry is the name for both the plant and the fruit. Cloudberry should not be confused with salmonberry, although the fruit looks similar.

The cloudberry grows to 10-25 cm high. The leaves alternate between having 5 and 7 soft, handlike lobes on straight, branchless stalks. After pollination, the white (sometimes reddish-tipped) flowers form raspberry-sized berries. Encapsulating between 5 and 25 drupelets, each fruit is initially pale red, ripening into an amber colour in early

In late July, this tasty fruit attracts hundreds to the marshes around Garnish. They are most prolific between Garnish and Point Rosie and can be accessed by way of the Garnish-Point Rosie Trail. Locals have been known to pick as many as 200 gallons in a single season. You will find them in Bakeapple cheesecakes, Bakeapple pies, among other things, or simply used as a spread on bread

The people of Garnish having been celebrating this tasty fruit with a week long festival of food, fun and music for the entire family. Former Garnishers and friends come from far an wide to experience the daily breakfast, suppers, musical events, and theatrical events, and so much more.
