I live in the Rio Grande valley, not much to forage until the rains come in. But these New Mexico Olive trees grow all up and down the river, they are always so full of fruit. But they are painfully bitter.

Same here in CA. Once we get into late summer, it’s mostly just waiting for the rains to come. And it’s a long wait.
Are these edible? I’ve never heard of this plant before.
