Update: Careful reader Serg has identified this bush as a bayberry. Thank you!
Do you know what kind of a bush this is? I don’t, and I wish I did.
These gray-white berries (or buds, or balls) are dispersed all over the twigs of the shrub. I guess maybe it’s an immature multiple berry or something, I can’t identify much of anything because my Google search skillz have failed me.
I think the berries look like alveoli, which are basically air sacs in your lungs! It’s always fun with you find anatomy in non-anatomical places. (I hope this doesn’t come up in search results for “alveoli”; if it does, and that’s how you found this, I’m sorry!)
