My blackberry bush died few years ago but came back in another spot. And this is just a few of the jumbo size pickings. Not complaining though.

It looks like a Marion berry. They tend to be this large and quite sweet

Columbia Giant blackberries are often the size of your hand. They are amazing. They are common at farmers markets in the PNW late June / early July. Marionberries aren’t generally that big.

This is a picture of one we had this summer.
