Rubus ursinus is a species of blackberry or dewberry known by the common names California blackberry and Pacific blackberry . It is native to western North America. This is a wide, spreading shrub or vine-bearing bush with prickly branches. Its white flowers may be distinguished from those of other blackberries by their narrow petals. The sweet, edible fruits are dark purple to black and up to 2 centimeters in length. One theory surmises that this species is an ancestor of the loganberry , and is a parent of the Boysenberry . in coastal Washington, the plants are both male and female, the trailing vines appear to be bi-annual for fruiting. They are vigorous spreaders, and need high amounts of moisture to set large fruit. In coastal areas of Washington state they are called "little wild blackberries" and are a favored fruit for commercial pies at restaurants and bakeries. The fruit freezes well on cookie sheets. Seed size seems to be related to fruit "cell" size, and the smallest(1 cm) fully formed berries are most highly prized. Trailing dewberies are a direct ancestor to "marion berries".
