There are berries in my area "northern ontario" that nobody seems to know the name of. They look like a raspberry but grow on the ground like strawberries.They are very sweet.Sure would like to know what they are. We used to eat them when we were kids.

Dewberry? There are dozens of species. It is a relative of the rasperry but grows low to the ground. The link below has some pictures of one species, if you click on the link on that site to the USDA data base you can search for all the various kinds of dewberry.

Here is a link that might be useful: Dewberry

I have recently acquired a large river front property in Northern Ontario. The plant life and wild life is unbelievable. There are wild raspberries, wild strawberries,high bush cranberries etc. I have recently discovered a low bush plant that has a large clump of berries growing. It stands about a foot to two feet from the ground. There are anywhere from 20 plus berries on the bush. The berries are a shiny bright candy apple red. I am wondering if they might be a form a red gooseberry. I've grown up in the north and have lived here all my life. I've never seen this type of berry. If need be I can obtain photos and forward them.
