I've never been able to tell one kind of scrub/weed cherry from another.
If I had a setup more like yours I might try to replace scrub cherries with some of the native plums.
If it wasn't blooming already several weeks ago, if the leaves are fuzzy rather than smooth, and if the flowers bloom on top of excessively long stems it may be False Dandelion rather than the normal dandelion.
Still perfectly edible and nutritious -- especially for livestock -- but less...
The wild ones do have more bite (people claim amazing health benefits for them).
I enjoy the sensation of changing flavors you get from popping the very sweet center out of the "hull", eating that soft pulp off the seeds, then chewing the stronger-flavored skin/layer of pulp that's attached to...
I have to disagree.
While I have multiple cases of excellent muscadine/scuppernong jams, we absolutely love them for fresh eating.
Yes, the skins take some chewing, but we don't care. They're richly flavored and I like them better than standard table grapes.
