Hybridises with : Bramble(s).

Lookee-Likees : Brambles.

Uniquely identifiable characteristics : The bluish-black multiple fruits have distinctly larger fruitlets than do the berries of Blackberry, and there are fewer of them in the fruit. The difference is very noticeable.

Dewberry is a low, sprawling prostate undershrub closely related to the Brambles with which it readily hybridizes. It inhabits sandy places, like sand dunes, especially at woodland edges. It also grows in grassy places, fens and scrubland.

The berries are about as large as a blackberry, but the fruitlets are notably larger than those in blackberries and fewer in number. They also usually have a matt-bluish bloom on them, which readily thumbs off with fingering. Although the dark-bluish black fruits are edible, they are rather insipid.

The stems have smaller briars on than do brambles, and they are also thinner and less robust. The leaves are trefoil, as in most brambles. The flowers are white with five petals.
