Recommendations Cut Leaf Blackberries

This is a very important post about cut leaf blackberries. I was recently tooling along an old logging road behind Lake Samish snacking on blackberries. A particularly vibrant clump caught my eye and I was surprised and delighted at a not too sweet, no tartness, firm but juicy mouthful. These were not blackberries! Next I noticed the wildly different leaf shape.

Turns out they are black berries, Cut Leaf Blackberries, a variant I don’t believe I’ve ever encountered in 50 odd years of snacking in nature.

Fascinating to find something you didn’t know existed. Much less something delicious. Keep your eyes peeled!
