词源 | youngberry. The youngberry is generally considered to be a hybrid variety of dewberry, which, in turn, is simply an early- ripening prostrate form of blackberry. The large, dark purple sweet fruit has the high aroma and flavor of the loganberry and native blackberry. The youngberry was developed by Louisi- ana horticulturist B. M. Young about 1900 by crossing a southern dewberry and trailing blackberry, or several varieties of black- berries. Its long, trailing canes are generally trained on wires. Pop- ular in the home garden, the berry is extensively planted in the American Southwest, South, Pacific Northwest, and California. |
