The Adventure begins, getting to see mom is always a treat.
These grow by dad’s farm, bushes sucker, about 10 to 12 feet max, silverfish leaves, tons and tons of this red fruit, locals don’t know what they are but don’t use them, anyone know what they are?
Wow, was fall showing herself in the badlands, crazy cold winds..
But it was even colder at the big horn dam in the rockies!
the waves on the water was white capping… but the drive was still awesome!
Just another Day on the Farm 
It looks like pyracantha. We have tons of it…lots of thorns and the birds love it!
A type of Sea Buckthorn? Fruit grows tight to the stem and, around here at least, you see them growing everywhere under the hydro lines (as bird donations?; ) and the berries can be a pale to golden-orange that almost glows from within. That one’s really gorgeous!
If they are related, they’re grown commercially in BC (where theirs are supposedly The Best; ) and sold as a Vit C-rich Super Food.
Not too keen on the glyphosate recommendations here, but a good article otherwise: http://www.saskfruit.com/studentwebsites/Seabuckthorn%20Widdup/grower/index.html
And, of course, good ole PFAF…
http://pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Hippophae+salicifolia. I thought the Willow-Leaved variety looked most like your photo, but there are several others listed.
Gorgeous photos! Enjoy your holiday !!
I thought buckthorn myself when I saw it but its not quite right but could indeed be in the family!
Have they been frozen yet (up there, most likely, eh?; ) ‘Cause they all say the same thing as for Mountain Ash and a lot of other fruit – less acidic after frosted/frozen…
Glad you’re having fun – hug for your Mum: )
