Interpretive Summary: The Encylopedia of Fruit and Nuts is designed as a research reference source on temperate and tropical fruit and nut crops. Blackberries are distinguished from raspberries by whether the receptacle picks with the fruit (blackberries) or stays with the plant when picked (raspberries). The crop is discussed in terms of: HISTORICAL AND ORIGINS (including World Production and Uses), BOTANY (including Taxonomy and Nomenclature, Morphology, Reproductive Biology, and Ecology), HORTICULTURE (Propagation, Diseases and Pests, Main Cultivars and Breeding). Blackberries (Rubus spp.) are in the same genus as red raspberries, black raspberries, mora, cloudberry, arctic raspberry.
