Some people,at least, use the term thimbleberries for what I call blackberries. It's hard to argue with them, because blackberries are much more thimble-shaped then the photo you show of thimbleberries which actually seem LESS thimble-shaped, if anything, than raspberries.

I aggree! Someone please update a pic, where you can really see the tipycal shape, because that really looks more like a raspberry...
Is it Rubus occidentalis that they are calling blackberry in your part of the country? A thimble is an implement that fits over a finger, so the main feature of its shape is hollowness. Thimbleberries and Black raspberries fit over small fingers. Blackberries as we use the term here don't, the core stays inside so they aren't hollow. Meggar 01:45, 2005 September 7 (UTC)
