these things I want to know:
Why are some blackberries red? is it a ripeness issue, a male/female thing, anyone got any insight on this?

Death of a Rose

don't know if this helps or not Mr. 24,
Aggregate fruits of a blackberry (Rubus ursinus) in coastal northern California showing the individual drupelets, each with a separate style. Although the one-seeded drupelets represent separate ripened ovaries, each aggregate cluster of drupelets develops from a single white flower. [Note: This species might be a hybrid blackberry; the widespread weedy R. procerus also grows in the area.]

ripeness.
they turn from red to black
the red ones are harder, more tart
the black ones should pretty much fall off the bush and onto your hand when they are perfectly ripe
unless your hand isn't there, then they'll just fall to the ground
i love backberries
i sometimes eat the red ones

tip: if it's red, and it's tough to pick (doesn't come away with a simple nudge) then it ain't really ripe.
the blacker it is, the sweeter it is.
the softer , the riper.
