These dark berries came from 5 acres of feral berries that we were told popped up following the St. Helen's eruption and have never been managed beyond browsing by wildlife. Some plants look like blackberries, some look like black raspberry, but I also think I'm seeing a wide bit of variety within each of those, and possibly some hybrids…? Maybe some marionberry?
Some plants are short and bushy while others are tall like trees about 12 feet high. There will be similar looking berries coming from eight distinctly different looking plants all intertwined. Some produce half-white/pink berries that taste like pinor noir. Some grow just a single berry to a stem while others grow in bunches.
The berries are some of the best I've ever had. Think we have anything special here we should try to develop and patent? Some have nearly no thorns and others have rounded bumps where thorns would be.
Nectarine for scale because the bananas were ready for bread.

The sixth is a cutlery Blackberry. The first picture is also Blackberries, probably a Himalayan.
