Barberry-a Neglected Fruit
Tastes change over time. If we looked at a list of commonly grown fruit plants during colonial times, some of these would be rather unfamiliar. For example, the medlar is rarely grown now. Once grown as a fruit plant, the barberry is now pretty much used as an ornamental.

Plant Families: Balsaminaceae and Berberidaceae
In my younger days, when I was a wildflower tenderoni and didn‘t know much, I called Jewelweed “Exlpodable Pod Plant”. If you don’t why, wrap your hand around the seed pod of one of these plants, being careful not to touch it until you have completely enclosed it. Pow! These two species account for the majority of the Touch-me-not family in North America. The Barberry Family, a little larger than the Touch-me-not Family with 9 genera and about 600 species, provides us some of our spring wildflowers.
