intensely aromatic Arctic bramble fruits Caneberries are composite fruits: a single flower has from 50 to 150 ovaries, and each ovary makes a separate small fruitlet, like a miniature plum with a stony seed The fruitlets are nourished through contact with the flower base and held together by the entanglement of small hairs borne on their surface (the original inspiration for Velcro) When they ripen, blackberries separate from the cane at the bottom of the flower base, so the base comes with the fruit; raspberries instead separate from the base itself, and so have an inner cavity Caneberries are climacteric fruit, and have one of the highest respiration rates of any fruit; thanks to this and their thin skin, they’re extremely fragile and perishable Some Caneberry Relationships All caneberries are members of the prolific genus Rubus, a member of the rose family Raspberry, European Rubus idaeus vulgatus Raspberry, American R idaeus strigosus Raspberry, black (American) R occidentalis Blackberry, European R fruticosus Blackberry, R ursinus, laciniatus, American vitifolius, etc Dewberry, European R caesius Dewberry, American R flagellaris, trivialis Various Boysenberry, loganberry, blackberrymarionberry, olallieberry, raspberry youngberry crosses Cloudberry R chamaemorus Salmonberry R spectabilis Arctic bramble R arcticus Raspberries have a distinctive flavor due to a compound dubbed the raspberry ketone, and ...
