Field Notes
Description:
Unlike most other related species in the Rubus genus (blackberries, brambles) , this plant does not have thorns. It also has a pleasing large and long-lived flower that many find suitable for ornamental plantings. The fruit matures in late summer to early autumn, and resembles a large, flat raspberry with many drupelets, is supposedly fuzzy to the touch and tongue although I have never found it to be anymore so than other rubus berries.

Native to eastern North America, from Nova Scotia west to Ontario, and south to Georgia and Alabama
