Picking blackberries
A ripe blackberry is deep black with a plump, full, and slightly tender feel. If the berry is red or purple, it’s not ripe yet. A ripe blackberry will pull free from the plant with only a slight tug. The skin of a fully ripe berry is dull black, not shiny. Taste test a berry for your preference. Blackberries are very delicate. Pick the blackberries in the bag, you intend to take home. Always keep the blackberry bag on top of the other fruit.
