Black Raspberries

The black raspberry, also called the black cap raspberry, was introduced to the United States in the 1840's.

Black raspberries are harder to maintain than red because they are more prone to diseases and less hardy.

North America is the only continent native to the black raspberries.

The picking season is much shorter than red raspberries.

Tips For Getting Beautiful Blacks
	Avoid all the red berries, they are not red raspberries, they are just unripe black ones. Pick only the berries that are a deep purple, just about black color.
	The best way make sure you are picking ripe black raspberries is by the way they seperate from the bush. You should be able to just roll your fingers across them into your bucket.
	Be careful not to fill your containers too full or else you will have smashed berries on the bottom.
