This is one I found a few months ago and thought it was very attractive and then researched it and found out how useful it was as well. This is taken from Wikipedia: "Gaultheria procumbens, also called the eastern teaberry, the checkerberry, the boxberry, or the American Wintergreen, is a species of Gaultheria native to northeastern North America from Newfoundland west to southeastern Manitoba, and south to Alabama. It is a member of the heath family.The fruits , considered its actual "teaberries", are edible, with a taste of mildy sweet wintergreen. The leaves and branches make a fine herbal tea. White-tailed deer browse wintergreen throughout its range, and in some localities it is an important winter food. Other animals that eat wintergreen are wild turkey, sharp-tailed grouse, northern bobwhite, ring-necked pheasant, black bear, white-footed mouse, and red fox. Wintergreen is a favorite food of the eastern chipmunk, and the leaves are a minor winter food of the gray squirrel in Virginia" Off to film class will be back later today to comment on posts.
