In an American medical news item I read that "black raspberrys were good for helping certain cancers".  In America  do they call blackberrys black raspberrys?

Blackberries are Rubus fruticosus

I remember seeing an article in Kitchen Garden magazine about a woman who had grown black raspberries from seed (Chiltern seeds I think). I looked into it but read they are a 'wild' variety that is renown for their height and spreading, which put me off!

my mummy bought me some black raspberries from ebay a few weeks ago :) can't wait to get some fruit!

Very confusing names. The black raspberries also are smaller and when you pick them the core stays behind on the cane. The blackberries tend to be seedier, at least the ones around here.

I tried to grow it last year but it got killed in April because I was away on holiday and it did not rain at all !
