  Dear Botanist, May I have your assistance in identifying the attached observation? Is it Black Raspberry? Thank you for sharing your expertise! Shannon

  Answer

  Dear srferrando+, good morning. No, you have photographed another species in the genus Rubus. Your plant is a species of blackberry (Rubus subgenus Rubus). These species have their fruits detach with the white, spongy receptacle (raspberries, including black raspberry, detach from the receptacle so they are hollow when picked). I hope this is helpful.
