tjwaines Well-Known Member Nov 20, 2011 #2 Have got about 3 lbs, but I'm not sure how I'd get them to you? Also still loads on the bushes if you can find any locally? Tom

ross Well-Known Member Nov 20, 2011 #3 alot of the sloes up here are still on bushes up here but most have split
Munty Hunter Well-Known Member Nov 20, 2011 #4 I always wait for them to split in the frost this makes them release their flavour, alternatively freeze them or prickem. 'Get pickin'

Dalua Well-Known Member Supporter Nov 20, 2011 #5 May I be pedantic for a moment? Are sloes actually berries? We do not refer to other drupes as berries: we do not speak of plums a 'plum berries' or damsons as 'damson berries'. May I suggest 'sloe heads' as an alternative? Or perhaps 'bullet berries'?
