Re: The outdoor pantry
One that's an alien but is being found in more and more places is both Russian and autumn olive. (Eleagnus ssp) They're similar in appearance and both have edible berries. They're higher in lycopene than tomatoes. Not all of the berries are as tasty. And, the longer they're on the bush, the sweeter they become.
