Sold as 1 single Black Raspberry plant, which was grown from cuttings.
Black Raspberry (Rubus Leucodermis) is not to be confused with blackberry. Blackberries are typically larger, shiny and firmer. Black raspberry is delicate and plush with a velvety skin like its red counterpart. The stems are notably glaucous (bluish white) and are smoothly round-shaped (nearly circular in diameter). When the stem surface is scratched, the underlying surface is a reddish maroon color. There are thorns on the stems. Black raspberries can be used in the same ways as red raspberry, although they are a bit more popular for canning than red raspberries. Black raspberry is potentially a bit more cold hardy than red raspberry. Rubus leucodermis is closely related to the eastern black raspberry Rubus occidentalis.
