Also called miskominaga wunj (in Anishinaabemowin ), and Rubus idaeus (among authors who count them as one species and not two). Also called a bramble, as are its sister-species in 🍇︎ blackberry/raspberry genus Rubus, and its cousin-species in sister-genus 🌹︎ rose genus Rosa — all with many prickles along their stems.
Despite its common name, botanically, its fruit is not a berry, but an "aggregate".
Part of 🍇︎ blackberry/raspberry genus Rubus in 🌹︎ rose family Rosaceae in 🍎︎ apple / 🍇︎ berry / buckthorn / elm / hemp / 🌹︎ rose order Rosales.
Native to much of North America. Cultivated and invasive in temperate areas a lot farther south.
