 beam from ficus), and the pine (pin-treow from pinus). 

 The small kernels of the pine were used as relishes 

 much as we eat olives. The plum has not changed 

 its original Anglo-Saxon name, and the nut (hnuter) 

 is nearly the same. Strawberries and raspberries (strea- 

 berige and hynd-beriges) were also well known to the 

 Anglo-Saxons, although perhaps only in their wild 

 state. The vine was often cultivated and called the 

 win-treow or wine tree, its fruit win-berige or wine- 

 berries, and a bunch of grapes, ge-clystre or a cluster. 1
