Are blackberrys the same as brambles?
Just wondering. The back garden is full of what I call blackberrys. Other people have called them brambles.
Is there a difference? ![]() TIA. |

Yes they are the same although brambles are the name of the plant and blackberry is the name of the fruit.

I thought it was the case that brambles are wild blackberry bushes, ie their natural form. Cultivated blackberries are usually larger and sweeter.

Reminds me of when I was a kid, the joys of wild blackberry picking. There was a bush in a field behind out house, always full of them every year, We'd take them back to my mum, who make lovely blackberry and apple pies out of them.
Not sure why we enjoyed picking them so much, probably some sort of foraging instinct. |
