Blackberry

This modest-sized shrub grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 195 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has numerous slender, crooked stems covered in fine, smooth, black bark, and the wood inside is dark brown.

The branches are short and thick with dozens of twigs that and are covered with sparse amounts of huge, 2 pointed, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are light orange and amber, delicate and clammy.

In early summer it produces many medium-sized, light brown blossoms with umbrella-shaped petals with a tube-like floral cup. They detach easily and have a delicate scent that smells like warm cookies.

In early autumn cuboid fruits ripen. The soft indigo skin is tough and inedible, and the very soft purple flesh is bitter and very juicy. The yellow seed is small and sits at the top of the fruit.
