blackberry) Blackberry seeds are dispersed by the birds and animals that feed on the berries. Here a blackbird eats a berry. By the time the seeds have worked through the bird's digestive system it is likely that it will have moved some distance away from the original plant. Prickly shrub, closely related to raspberries and dewberries. Native to northern parts of Europe, it produces pink or white blossom and edible black compound fruits. (Rubus fruticosus, family Rosaceae.)

The lane was a very cloistral one, with a ribbon of gravelly road, bordered on each side with a rich margin of turf and a scramble of blackberry bushes, green turf banks and dwarf oak-trees making a rich and plenteous shade. Don't forgit about the socks and the shirts, child; and I've put a cup of blackberry jam with yer bundle, because I know yeh like it above all things. Resembling a couple of blackberry pies. |
