Yes, they are the same fruit. In Scotland (where they're much more common) they are generally called brambles, but in England they're more usually called blackberries, except where there has been a scottish influence at some point.
The bush (as opposed to the fruit) is usually called a bramble in both Scotland and England.

Bramble is the common name for the plant on which the blackberry fruit grows, not the name of the fruit itself. Hope that clears that up for you....we don't eat brambles.

Blackberries grow on a Bramble bush. Easy, innit?

I dont know if it is the snooty name for brambles. But I thought brambles were like raspberries. Furry in texture and not circular at all.

Yes the Blackberry is the fruit of the Bramble - and for info, don't pick them from the roadside - they tend to absorb more road dirt and pollutants than country berries.
Make damn good jam too.

Raspberries and blackberries are the group of cultivated fruit crops referred to as brambles.

No... A BlackBerry is very useful email and phone device.... Bramble is a berry that's nice to eat on its own or baked in a pie...

They are the same fruit but the term "brambles" is normally used for the wild plant/bushes that grow in the hedgerows etc.
