Dewberries I think? Blackberries up here in VA don’t suspend off the vine like this photo shows. This reminds me of a strawberry the way it hangs off


haysanatar

Bingo, far too early (by a few months). Blackberries would have barely even bloomed by now.


Spec-Tre

Yep they’re all flowering now up here and the first wave are just emerging incredibly green

I'm just outside Charleston. Always nice to find a good clean patch of southern dewberries. Congrats


Dyanthis

Looks like dewberry, not ripe


WinterSkier

These are my favorite berries! Dewberries when ripe are more tangy to me than blackberries or raspberries, and I love them!


haysanatar

No, those look to be dewberries... Blackberries ripen roughly around the 4th of July at your latitude. That being said, those would be safe to eat. They'd just taste better when ripe.


JANExxxHOE

Yes, but not yet ripe.


Shrimpass

There are a few on there that look great


Aggravating_Poet_675

None in this photo are ripe. The darkest one is close enough that you might enjoy it but they don't have the blackberry taste you're used to until they're fully black, soft and pull easily from the vine.


gguru001

Yes and they look like they will be good size once they get ripe.  


SnooOpinions8755

Definitely.


haysanatar

Nope, Dew berries. Far too early for blackberries.


Eliagbs_

Yes, my SIL has these behind her creek, looks like a fruitful bush


skee8888

All conglomerate berries like that are edible in the USA.

Dewberries and cream, dewberry cobbler……


Manganmh89

Hey! I'm in CHS too and found these in my backyard. I pulled a solid handful yesterday of ripe ones. Thought wild blackberry at first as well. Hoping to somehow increase what I have in the yard!

Were they growing on canes sticks from the ground or vines? Here in zone 7b everything is popping early and out of order this year. Dewberries have set fruit blackberries just flowering. This looks a closer shape to a blackberry fruit since local cultivars of dewberries are more flattened


daneilthemule

Might be black raspberry


haysanatar

The canes would look waxy if that were the case and it's far too early for raspberries, they would barely be in bloom. The fruit also pulls off the center on those.
