Bramble
In British English, a "bramble" is any rough (usually wild) tangled prickly shrub—specifically the blackberry bush (''Rubus fruticosus'')—or any hybrid of similar appearance, with thorny stems. Bramble or brambleberry may also refer to the blackberry fruit or products of its fruit (e.g., bramble jelly). The shrub grows abundantly in all parts of the British Isles and harvesting the fruits in late summer and autumn is often considered a favourite pastime. It can also become a nuisance in gardens, sending down its strong suckering roots amongst hedges and shrubs.
Elsewhere, such as in the United States, the term "bramble" also refers to other members of the Rubus genus, which may or may not have prickly stems—notably the raspberry (''Rubus idaeus'') or its hybrids. The word comes from Germanic ''bram-bezi'', whence come also German ''ドイツ語:Brombeere'', Dutch ' and French ''フランス語:framboise''.
== Description ==
Bramble bushes have a distinctive growth form. They send up long, arching canes that do not flower or set fruit until the second year of growth. Brambles usually have trifoliate or palmately-compound leaves.
Bramble fruits are ''aggregate fruits''. Each small unit is called a ''drupelet''. In some, such as the blackberry, the flower ''receptacle'' is elongated and part of the ripe fruit, making the blackberry an ''aggregate-accessory'' fruit.
