It's a cross between a boysenberry and a blackberry. A man at Oregon State University at Corvallis Or invented it and named it Marionberry, for Marion County. They are delicious, nice and juicy. I prefer them over any other berry. I used to can about a dozen quart jars full so I could have them through out the winter, but I'm long out now. I don't do canning anymore so I'll have to find out some other way of preserving them.
