Blackberries are sweet darkly colored fruits that grow on bushy vines in small clusters known as drupelets. Blackberry can become quite invasive if left to their own devices. Blackberry is easily recognizable and enjoyed for its flavorful, sun-ripened berries, but its leaves can be used as a gentle astringent tonic in herbal teas and have a pleasant, fruity flavor.The leaf can also be applied in topical applications such as toners, washes, lotions, etc.

 Many earth-based and Wiccan religions claim that blackberry leaves can help return evil to the enemy that sent it and may also help remove evil spirits from your home. Superstition in the United Kingdom holds that blackberries should not be picked after Michaelmas (September 29th) as the devil has claimed them, having left a mark on the leaves by urinating on them. There is some value to this legend as after that date wetter and cooler weather often allows the fruit to become infected by various molds, which give the fruit an unpleasant look and possible toxicity.
