It is easily recognizable by its slender, hairy stems, as well as its leaves composed of three intensely green, toothed leaflets, sometimes slightly hairy on their underside. Its small, five-petaled white flowers appear in spring, followed by small, red, juicy fruits that resemble miniature raspberries. It prefers moist soils rich in organic matter, often found in cool, marshy forests, as well as along waterways. Very hardy, this species is well adapted to Quebec's cold climates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri,Arial; font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal;\"\u003eIn addition, native blackberries (\u003cem\u003eRubus\u003c\/em\u003e spp.) are recognized as \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri,Arial; font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/akene.ca\/blogs\/publications\/les-plantes-cle-de-voute-des-piliers-essentiels-de-la-biodiversite\" title=\"Keystone plants: essential pillars of biodiversity\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ekeystone plants\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e for biodiversity in many North American ecoregions, as they support a great diversity of insects and birds that use their flowers, leaves, and small fruits.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri,Arial; font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/akene.ca\/blogs\/publications\/l-index-de-sociabilite-des-plantes-un-outil-essentiel-pour-concevoir-des-amenagements-naturels-durables\" title=\"Plant Sociability Index\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSociability Index\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e: 3\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-843cefeb-7fff-601c-d3c9-dc9beba53eed\"\u003e→\u003c\/b\u003e Indicates the plant's behavior in space and its interactions with other plants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedicinal and culinary uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe leaves are astringent and stomachic.
