Dewberry

They are small, trailing (rather than upright or high-arching) brambles with aggregate fruits, reminiscent of the raspberry, but are usually purple to black instead of red.

Around March and April, the plants start to grow white flowers that develop into small, green berries.

[citation needed] The leaves are sometimes eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including peach blossom moths.

[citation needed] The leaves can be used to make an herbal tea (tisane), and the berries are edible and taste sweet.

[citation needed] In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the town of Cameron, North Carolina, was known as the "dewberry capital of the world" for large-scale cultivation of this berry, which was shipped out for widespread consumption.
