There IS a difference - brambles don't fruit, blackberries do, plus
brambles pop up all over the place if not dug out, whereas blackberries
seem to grow from a single main stem and can be trained and contained.Rusty

I think you mean brambles, rather than blackberries. -

How does this account for bramble jelly?! My mother used to make that every
year.
I think not for the first time the english language is causing
confussion.
Brambles, Blackberries, Brimbles are all different names for the same
plant (there are many more, often regional) but in common speach one
would perhaps refer to a tangle of the stems as "Brambles" while a bowl
of fruit "Blackberries" but as far as I know its all quite
interchangable!
