Hedge Rows, Shrubs and plants, Bilberries
Bilberry has been used for centuries, both medicinally and as a food in jams and pies. Bilberry is used for improving eyesight, including night vision. In fact, during World War II, British pilots in the Royal Air Force ate bilberry jam to improve their night vision. :)- The fruit is smaller than that of the blueberry but with a fuller taste. Bilberries are darker in colour, and usually appear near black with a slight shade of purple. These grow all over the place :) but can be found in many hedgerows in Britain, as a lad I use to collect them from the surrounding mountains, make a pie and sell them for two shillings and six pence 2/6
