White currants remain long suspended, while the red berries around quickly be eaten bare. Also black fruits are common: in privet, ivy (Hedera), the black hips of the wild-rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia), the berries of elderberry (Sambucus nigra) and black currant (Ribes nigrum). Purple is also fairly common, eg in the berries of Callicarpa bodinieri 'Profusion' and Pernettya. Blueberries are very special. They occur mainly in bushes green, white or yellow flowers.
