September 2nd, Day 836: Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
Fruit Info: Did you know that the fruits in this genus are drupes? Because I didn’t. But it turns out this one is a drupe like all of the other ones so far. That being said, it’s common name, Kinnikinnick, is one of the best names I’ve seen yet. The word Kinnikinnick is an Algonquin word meaning “smoking mixture”.
Fruit Tier: S(moke)
