Rubus, often collectively called bramble bushes, are distinguishable from other berries by their fruit composed of an aggregate of drupelets. In plain English, you’ll know a rubus berry because the small fruits look like shiny pearls clustered together to form one delicious mouthful of flavour.
Blackberries and raspberries are the most widely known members of the genus but the list of relatives also includes marionberries, youngberries, loganberries, boysenberries, silvanberries and more.
