This shrub (the black and the blue) is probably the top medicinal plant you want in your food forest. The red one is great for the birds. This video could help you figure out which volunteers to keep or pull from your property, as they don't fruit when they're young. However, at this time, I keep them all around since I have the space and because it's cute watching a bird pluck the red berries (almost before you can see them). The birds left the blue berries alone long enough for me to snatch them; however, since there weren't enough of them for me to process meaningfully, I left them for the birds to eat eventually and poop more of the seeds for me around the property.
