Hi Ruthie,

The red Arbutus tree berries are easy to dry. They do shrink while doing so but will be hard as a rock and have a deep red color that they retain.

You can make a gorgeous necklace by stringing them with a needle and tough thread or fish line. Just hang them to dry when done. Do this when still fresh and moist.

Or if you don't want them on a string, then spread them out to dry.

You can gather the berries over the next month or two of autumn days.

Have fun and do send a picture and let me know how you make out.

Ron
