When life gives you strawberries that you can't eat, make... well, nothing. 🍓 The American strawberry bush (Euonymus americanus) has these clusters of bright red "strawberries" produced by this little shrub are not your typical garden variety. In fact, they're not meant for human consumption at all, it’s a bush that is all bark and no bite! 😂 But they are a tasty treat for birds and squirrels! With fruits that look like tiny hearts waiting to burst, it’s no wonder the American strawberry bush is also referred to as "bursting-heart," "hearts-a-bustin'," and "hearts-a-bustin’-with-love." ♥️ #AmericanStrawberryBush #Strawberry #StrawberrySeason #Summer #Shrubs #Fruit #Plant 📸: nationalparkservice Image: The orange, purple, and shocking pink fruit capsule of hearts-a-bustin'.
