Rubus Fruticosus

Rubus Fruticosus

The blackberry is perhaps the most common, widespread wild fruit that there is in the UK. Best picked early in the year (these are rather late ones), the early ones are juicier. Bushes in the sunlight will start having ripe berries as early as late June or early July, but the crop can continue until the frosts.

Great eaten raw, cooked in pies and crumbles with apple, made into jam, in homemade wine, etc. A very versatile and tasty fruit.
