Black raspberry · Blackberry
🗓 Season: June · July · August · September
🔍 When is it ripe?
Black raspberry: Deep purple-black, duller than blackberries. Separates from the hollow core like a red raspberry. Richer, more intense flavour than red raspberry. Short season — harvest daily.
Blackberry: Fully black (not red or dark red) and comes off the stem with no resistance — zero pull. Dull rather than shiny; a shiny black berry is still slightly underripe and tart. Eat the same day for best flavour.
Although it's an "invasive species," there's an abundance of delicious berries here! Follow the signs towards Blackberry Beach. Wear protective clothing as it gets pretty thorny.
Source note: located within the Port of Cascade Locks industrial land, just west of the easyCLIMB trail, and open to the public. Fantastic view of the Columbia River :)
