Gift that keeps giving. Rubus occidentalis, black raspberry
Best tasting raspberry, sweet and vinous. I’ve given rooted cuttings of this to so many people, I’ve lost count.
@jblue Unique, delicious flavor! One just showed up in my yard a couple years ago so I spread it around ... before my 99-year-old aunt warned me not to let them get near red raspberry because of a fungus. I'm keeping on the alert. They were volunteers, so I won't let them get at my cultivated berries, if I can help it.
@jblue why the darkest one has these short white hair? Remnants from flower?
@madargon maybe. Cultivated raspberries here have the same tiny soft hairs.
