Bis forBlackberry

Scientific name: rubus fruticosus

Blackberries are the fruit of a very thorny plant closely related to the raspberry. They spread quickly by sending roots under the ground that then sprout new plants. They can easily get unmanageable and are hard to keep under control because of the thorns. Today, you can buy thornless blackberries. Blackberries are most often used to make jam.
