What do you need to know about blackberries? That there are over 2000 varieties across the whole wide world? That they taste good in pies? Or that we get ours from a friendly man called Craig? Whatever you need to know, you might find the answer in the short film that’s sitting on this page. Watch it and learn a little.

And if your query isn’t covered in the clip, here are some facts that may clear up other key blackberry queries:

• Blackberries are made up of little baubles called drupelets.
• It’s considered unlucky to pick blackberries after Michaelmas (29th September). After that time, the devil will have spat or stamped on them. Highly unfair, but that’s how the devil is rolling.
• Native American Indians pounded blackberries with dried meat and fat to make something called pemmican, which saw them through the winter.
• The similarly named personal communications device was invented after the actual berry. In the year 3011, they will think things happened the other way round.
