About: Can anyone identify this plant plea from Charles Marshburn

To ColumbiaMagazine.com for Charles Marshburn

The shrub appears to be coralberry (also known as buckberry). It is a native plant, often found in abandoned fields and pastures. Its roots were prized by basketweavers.

Thanks. This information should keep Charles Marshburn busy for quite some time. We can envision a whole new Great American Basket Factory in the Gadberry community which was once the millinery capitol of Adair County. -CM

Can anyone identify this plant? Answer: Coralberry



2010-07-18 - Photo by Charles Marshburn. Off Johnson School RD, near Gadberry, District 3, Adair Co., KY
Wants identity of plant? "This picture was taken in November of last year. The creek is seasonal running out of the woods on the back of my property into Petty Fork. I want to know if someone can identify it for me. There was a house which burned down approximately 150 yards from this creek. I am willing to bet any member of the garden club or any retired state forester would be able to identify it," -Charles Marshburn
Wendy Butler Burt identifies the plant as coralberry (aka buckberry), a native plant.
