Description

Rubus gratus is an arching shrub, with a reddish purple, sharply angled stem. The stem has numerous prickles of varying sizes, most being between 4 and 7 mm in length. The leaves are composed of five yellowish green leaflets. Flowers are large (to 4cm in diameter), and pink.[1]

Culinary use

Rubus gratus has been described as having some of the choicest fruits – the blackberries – among Rubus species, particularly for cooked desserts.[2]

gollark: Basically, there was an issue in the PotatOS filesystem sandbox which resulted in paths outside the allowed area being... somehow... redirected to either themselves or a directory containing themselves or something like that.
gollark: I accidentally made the filesystem infinitely recursive.
gollark: I think it's mostly backwards compatible.
gollark: I've been having fun with VirtualOS lately and seeing just how much I can nest it before the peripheral calls go over the limit.
gollark: A game/chat bridge, perhaps.
