Book Cover & Preview Text
Blackberry Rubus fruilicosus Up to 2m August – November The most recommended of The Staffordshire Larder’s fruits. The Blackberry is an extremely common fruit which is found from the summer onwards into the autumn. The Blackberry is rich in history for medicinal uses and its culinary potential has long been recognised. Blackberries are amongst the most recognisable fruits, they are also known for being very invasive, quite often taking over large patches of rough scrublands, and their unforbidding thorns create their own defence. Blackberries are found throughout Staffordshire. They can be found in woodlands and forests, on wastelands, in hedgerows, field boundaries, gardens, in town centres, in cities and villages, and on river, brook and stream borders.
