Dewberry, common name for any of several varieties and species of blackberry. Dewberries differ from other types of blackberry chiefly in having long, slender stems that trail along the ground. One species is often grown in gardens because the fruits ripen as much as two weeks earlier than those of other blackberry species. The western dewberries are also trailing, and by hybridization the loganberry, youngberry, and boysenberry have been derived from them. In Great Britain the name dewberry is applied to the fruit of a different species.

Scientific classification: The dewberry often grown in gardens is classified as Rubus flagellaris. The western dewberries are classified as Rubus ursinus and Rubus macropetalus. In Great Britain the name dewberry is applied to the fruit of the species Rubus caesius.
