Description
A relative of the common wild raspberry, the dark purplish-black variety grows across Canada, generally in moist to dry woods. It was widely used in cooking and for preserves, as many find it more flavourful than cultivated varieties. Edible Canadian wild berries were featured on 7 definitive stamps issued on August 5, 1992, replacing the Canadian mammals series of 1988.
