Berry very purple


 
Rubus occidentalis - Black Raspberry
Red and black berries

 
A black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) bush shows its red and black (more like a very, very dark purple with red) berries.

Black is better

 
This cluster of black raspberries show the different stages of ripeness.  The darkest berries are the ripest and the sweeter and juicier they be.  The red, not so at all, even though they resemble ripe red raspberries.
