Wild black Raspberry also known as black caps, black cap raspberry, and thimbleberry or its scientific name Rubus occidentalis. Is native to North America.
It is a shrub that grows about 2-3 m tall, with thorny shoots with three leaflets on leaves on flowering branchlets. The fruit round shaped that is capped like. The fruit is very delicious with many seeds. they are high in anthocyanins and ellagic acid.
Black raspberries are high in anthocyanins. This has led to them being very useful as natural dyes. Anthocyanins
is a very powerful antioxidants which has been found to help in the fight against cancer.
So take the family out enjoy the day and pick some of natures cancer fighters. I have enclosed some photos to help you identify them. They make great pies, jellies,preserves, and wine....I hope this will help anyone looking to harvest Gods bounty...HB Ken
