What Rubus 'bramble' cane fruits live near you?Down here in oxford I am lucky enough to be near four listed in my Francis rose ident book.
Rubus idaeus-raspberry
R.caesius- dewberry
R. saxatilis-stone bramble
R.fruticosus- blackberry.
Maybe its cos im looking more...
I especially loved coming across the scarlet fruited stone bramble. first in oxford then recently by castlerigg stone circle near lake Derwent in cumbria.
Its sort of an intermediate dewberry cum raspberry in its leaves and frut setting. few drupeletts like the dewberry, leaveslike the raspberry, being downy-white undersides.

Well we have blackberry and raspberry wild, but I guess I'm no expert on any special ones!

Cab was the man for rubus hybrids & species but unfortunately he's not here any more or if he is he's very quiet.
Use the search function & type in rubus with Cab as the author & you will get lots of info.
