Dewberries ripen before blackberries, so if you come across ripe berries in April and May, you can trust they are dewberries. Some of my favorite childhood memories are picking berries and coming home to Mom to make this cobbler. Lisa
What is the difference between a blackberry and a dewberry?Fruit. Dewberries (Rubus trivialis) have a somewhat more purplish-red hue than the darker blackberry (Rubus fruticosus). Blackberries are slightly sweeter and less acidic than dewberries; dewberries are larger and usually ripen a week to 10 sooner than blackberries.
