Although I well knew, of course, that in technical botanical language, the blackberry is not a berry at all, but an aggregate fruit of numerous drupelets. |
Tayberry fruit, like that of the raspberry and blackberry, is an aggregate fruit consisting of a collection of drupelets. |
Bakeapples, for example, composed of large drupelets or pericarps, have a form similar to raspberries and blackberries. |
The passengers on the chock-full boat were packed across the deck like drupelets. |
It is best to pick the berries while all drupelets are of a consistent, dark red coloration. |
The crumbly berry is caused by the failure of some of the tiny drupelets, which make up the fruit, to develop. |
